In Response To: Against a Big Bot Backgame (Neil Robins)

It seems to me that the "novice play" of clearing the midpoint is a candidate. If we don't clear the midpoint now, when are we going to clear it? On the other hand, it puts a checker on the 10pt, which looks like the most troublesome point to clear. I will try 13/5 though this is a very confusing position.
