Ah well, nothing of any great use there... I don't want to slot 5 (or effectively slot the bar with 8/5 7/5), if the herd decide to get moving I want to be able to attack straight away, not have to worry about coming in on a 3-point board and only having half a roll to strike back. I'm glad the herd didn't split, as only 4s help them - I wasn't going to hit on the two-point with the five open. So for the time being, I'll bide my time: 9/6 8/6. It's not great but at least two numbers hit on the five-point without compromising my structure too much.

(emphasis mine)
That tells a lot about our play - we better try not to make the opponent glad about our moves again. :yes:
