In Response To: Hit or play safe? (Flaccus)

Blue has a significant lead in the race and still has time to wait for a luckier roll than this one. Hitting and leaving three blots around when White has a powerful four-point board just seems like risking too much to gain too little—even if White misses the shot, Blue has a lot of cleanup work to do. I'd just play the simple 8/6 8/5.
