Very Interesting QF Position

In Response To: 54 to play (Dmitriy Obukhov)

I would not have played 22/17 7/4 over the board. However, taking QF into account, this is my play here and now. I estimate that it gives Black roughly 8 HCs (numbers that hit and cover), after which White will still have some chances. White will be happy to get a double shot after Black's 61 62 64 and a single shot (with vig and possible play-on chances) after Black's 63 65.

When you are a big dog anyway, it is often correct to increase your own chance of getting gammoned in order to increase your chance of winning the game.
