In Response To: Run or clear up a blot? (Daniel Murphy)

Blue staying on the 24-point seems to be something White would prefer, so 24/20. Now I see 20/15, 13/8, and 9/4. These group into running (24/15) and staying (other two plays).

What is White's plan for next turn? Hit, anywhere, anytime, anyhow. Obviously not all hits are equally valuable, but all fit the GP.

Seeing that, 20/15 gives White the fewest shots (16 vs. 23). Further, if missed, Blue is considerably closer to his/her GP of getting around and getting into a bearoff while resting on the 15-point than on the 20-point.

Summary: 24/20/15.
