Community Comments

Rolf Schreuder:

“13/10 24/23.

Maybe 24/21 24/23 better but villain likes to attack on his 4 point…

But we want an anchor, although escaping with one would also help

And unstacking our heavy midpoint feels right too.

Despite annoying 5-3 and 6-2 we allow.”

Jake Jacobs:

“I like 13/10, 6/5. Fewer shots than making the 5pt, and keeps that valuable 8pt.”

April Mesich:

“24/23 13/10”
