Clemstog rolled 6-1 and moved the very obvious 13/7, 8/7

I am away now until early next week, so you have plenty of time to think about and discuss this move  ;)

8-2/7-2.

We need a hedge, albeit of little force right now, against White's seemingly better position, having escaped both his back men. I preffer making a point in our board rather than bringing tow from the 13-pt. If White's forced to leave a shot or hit us loose next move, a 2-pt board would prove much better.
