In Response To: an ugly position (aoleg1)

I wonder if Pottle's Rule applies here. :)

16/11 is a candidate, leaving 12 return shots on the nearside.

Double hitting in the board (two possibilities and despite apparent duplicaiton, I knock the one off our 4-point) is the other option I see: 6/4*/1*.

(16/13, 8/6 is safe for a roll, but doesn't look very safe for the longterm, so I reject that.)

Hitting has the usual tempo pluses, especially hitting two. The 6-point is overstacked -- non-negative issue supporting this choice.

After seeing a somewhat similar situation at GS which I posted on GU last Friday, I'm going with the double hit.

Concusion: 6/4*/1*.
