In Response To: 5-3 to play at DMP (Timothy Chow)

I hate putting a dilly builder on the 2pt; nevertheless, I think it's the least of evils. With the race being so close, I'll hold my nose and play 24/21 7/2. The pure 24/21 13/8 play leaves 18 shots -- seems like White has too many good numbers and too few bad numbers.

If the score were GG, I'd support 13/8 6/3*, with a huge gain on the 9 fans, but with no extra incentive for gammons at DMP, it's not worth it.

In short, I'm going with 24/21 7/2, with 24/21 13/8 a somewhat close second choice. Non-anchoring choices like running with 21/13 or passing with 13/5, while conceivable at the score, actually look pretty weak to me.
