No takers? Maybe the QF was too obvious. Studying too many QF problems can lead one to make fancy plays OTB that turn out to be whoppers. Here, though, I entirely overlooked the fancy play OTB. It goes against the grain to leave all those blots, especially at gammon save, but apparently it's good to try to clear the troublesome midpoint when the opponent is on the bar against a five-point board.
