After juanz makes an advanced anchor, the Herd now has 26 to play. As usual, let me know if you want more choices.

5-pt match, score juanz 0-1 Herd
Pipcount: juanz (red) 145, Herd (black) 140

i would play 24-16.  there are 2 things which i believe favor running.  we are ahead in the race and we need to at some point move our back checkers.  now is as good a time as any.

As of noon UTC, the vote is split 50/50, so I'll leave it up for a few hours more. If still undecided, I'll have to make the decision. KDP has made the case for running out one of our back chequers. Anyone else want to chip in with reasons for the alternative, of burying another one on our ace point, albeit making that point and giving us a 3-pt board?
