11/5 to safety the blot looks obvious, but maybe it's worth giving up the 1/18 chance that it's hit to achieve a better bear in structure, especially since we have good counterplay if hit. (blots to shoot at, three still stuck behind a five prime)

One old piece of advice, that I can't say is all that useful in practice, is "make sure you can play a 65" After 11/5 and any of the checker shuffling options a 65 is playable without blotting. And I'm not seeing any other immediate blotting rolls either.

So I'll lift the straggler now since I'm not seeing the upside of volunteering a shot, even a small one. QF says otherwise.

Where to play the ace? 8/7 leaves us even-ended so I'll go with that.

11/5 8/7.
