In Response To: 4th Move Snake Eyes (Michael Depreli)

The opponent's configuration, with blots on the 5pt and 11pt, means that she will usually play 11/5 with a 6. Thus slotting our own bar is safer than usual. So the first move that I see is bar/23 8/7 6/5*. But I can't quite make up my mind whether this is too reckless a play, especially when we have a race lead. A more solid play is bar/24 8/5*, or perhaps bar/24 8/7 6/5*/4. I don't see any non-hitting play that I like better than all of these. I'd probably play bar/24 8/5* OTB but QF suggests that that's not right.
