In Response To: Another from 30 years ago, with a (familiar) connection (Chuck Bower)

With two points to go, it might seem tempting to go for the undoubled gammon by hitting, but there's enough contact here that I don't think breaking the board is correct. Shouldn't forget that the opponent has a potential gammicidal cube. 18/14 is my 4 and then I guess it's probably better to leave it there, duplicating 2's and 4's to hit and cover, than to advance it to the 13pt. 18/14 3/2 is my play.
