I would have thought 9-7(2), with even a modest race lead. With a 12 point lead and black deuce pt stack, you're probably close to 70% to win the game in a straight race. If 11-10(2) is right, does that mean (assuming an average roll by black) that you would not clear the 10 point next turn with 5-2? 5-4? Not clearing creates a very stripped position. But if clearing is right, was it worth making the 10 pt just to block 66s for one turn? Of course, you might not roll a clearing number.
