In Response To: Bearing in against an ace point game (ah_clem)

When bearing in against contact, a smooth-looking position is typically less important than making sure you can clear from the rear quickly and safely. See for example this position from an OLM last year, where enough readers were seduced by smoothness that the clear-from-the-rear play lost the vote.
