We're committed to racing now... so the only thing that really matters is to leave no voluntary shots. 13/10 might look clever because of the duped 5s, but if we're hit we're very probably cubed out even with a hanging blot on the White 8-point.

13-8 6-3 is my move. the 5 is almost forced as you want to bring another checker safely off the mid point. the 3, i unstack the six, although you could do something like moving off the 4 to the 1 but that looks a little too cute for me at this point. and im certainly not going to leave a shot in this position.
