In Response To: holding game (garyo)

13/8 13/10

Making the 3 point seems a little TMPish. If White was more vulnerable to an attack (like on the 2 point rather than the ace) maybe, but not here.

18/13 18/15 is dangerous and Blue is hardly safe even if it works.

The idea that breaking the midpoint splits the checker in two shouldn't matter too much :
- Blue will have some time to roll doublets
- Blue is 20 pips ahead, but holding the midpoint and staying back with one checker consumes a lot of White's timing. He may be the first to concede something
