Tough 32

7/2 looks bad, so I'm resigned to leaving a blot on the 2pt.

I think making the 4pt leaves too many shots and blots around, and I don't like giving up the bar point when White is still on our 1pt.

If we hit with 11/9*, what's the 3? 11/8 looks loose while 9/6 looks stiff. Could be right but let's keep looking.

If we anchor with 22/20, again, what's the 3? If we're leaving a double shot anyway, then I like 6/3 unstacking better than breaking a point with 11/8. 22/20 6/3 is a bit funny-looking but I think it's an O.K. play.

What's left? We could run with 20/15, bring two down with 13/11 13/10 (duplicating 1's), or hit loose on the ace point with 6/1*. These all seem to give White too many double-hitting rolls.

I'm going to go with 22/20 6/3. Nothing disastrous can happen immediately if we anchor up. If we play 11/9* 11/8 or 11/9*/6, the upside doesn't look that much better whereas the downside is considerable.
