In Response To: Threw a 32 (Nack Ballard)

Can't speak for others, but this is hard for me. Race is about even, so a prosaic play like making the seven would seem to be thematic.

OTOH, Magriel's safe v bold criteria call for a bold play, so 6/3* 6/5 or 6/3*/2 might be in order.

With white holding the cube, the bold play probably means she cashes if it doesn't work out for us, while the prosaic play seems more resilient, although it may mean eating an unappetizing four cube if she escapes and builds the pipcount.

Hard to choose, but I'll keep the permanent asset of the six point and hope things work out long term.

10/7 9/7.
