In Response To: Neil v. Stick Novi Finals (Game 9) #40 (Stick)

Here I went on a pipe-dream, being seduced by Stick's other blot. My thinking went as follows. 21/11(2) looks right but I'd only lead by 15 pips and Stick is on roll. If I attack and he dances, I may be TG, if he anchors I don't mind playing the complicated game that is still somewhat to my advantage and if he fails to anchor or hit I can still attack ... if he dances and I play on for a G and hit loose and he hits back on the 5 pt and dances with the other checker, I have a splendid cube from the roof that may be difficult for him to evaluate at this score. (That's what happened in the actual game, but the problem is all the risks I took getting to a position where I don't think Stick can make much of a cube error.)

With centered cube, it seems 21/11(2) has to be best.
