In Response To: 61 in the endgame - variant (Daniel Murphy)

Good variant! I was just thinking the same myself. Now we need to worry about indirect shots from the bar. Often distributional issues trump the indirect shots, so I think 9/3 6/5 is still a good candidate, but we need to revisit 11/5 9/8 because it minimizes immediate shots (our position is not as strong here as before so thinking about how boxcars play is less urgent). Not sure, but maybe 11/5 9/8 is slightly better here.
