juanz makes another homeboard point and hangs onto our GP and his mid. The Herd now also gets 52 to play. Lots of choices, some of them really bad - can the Herd find a good 'un?

5-pt match, score juanz 0-1 Herd
Pipcount: juanz (red) 109, Herd (black) 97

Spoiler
Clear from the rear and re-make the four point with 9/4 9/7.

We don't want to bury a checker on the ace by clearing the six-point, we don't want to volunteer a shot by playing off the midpoint, and playing ooff teh nine-point has to be better than playing off the seven.
