In Response To: Blotty position (Ian Shaw)

I'll take the 20 point anchor, noting that I have 4 men back, few checkers in the zone and chances are that I will soon have more men back.

Having both 5 points, it is hard to become much of a dog regardles of how many guys are sent back.

Hitting lose isn't as strong as usual because there are no spares to cover the blot in case white doesn't hit back. Hitting lose also has little value as a tempohit since white has so many hitters regardles.

Best is the anchor which is a strong positional assett in what rates to be a long game. The anchor will serve you well and be a strong annoyance factor for white.
