In Response To: Endgame 21 (Paul Weaver)

We outboard our opponent and we are behind in the race so we need to look at blotty plays. 13/12 5/3 is blotty. Is it right? This is a tricky decision. If Black didn't have a blot in his board and another blot in the outfield, I think I would play safe. Here 13/12 5/3 might be right.

Given that we break our midpoint, there's also the question of whether the intuitive choice of hanging back as much as possible is right. I would guess so but would not be too shocked to be proved wrong.
