Title: Fibsboard Forum Match 18 Game 3 Move 10 Herd to move

While we have a couple of blots to have a pop at, have good board position and a healthy pip lead, and good gammon chances, and our oppo has only a 1-pt board, I am assuming the Herd won't want to offer the cube at this stage. So I rolled and the magnanimous Gnu has given as 33 to think about.

5-pt match, juanz 0-3 Herd
Pipcount: juanz (red) 167, Herd (black) 138

lol - I wanted 13-7 (2)..couldn't find it, so added it..then of course realised 13/10 (2), 10/7 (2) was the same thing..so I relabeled to 13/7(2), which hopefully is a bit more obvious..and then I voted for that! Easily my fav move here. Whilst I would like to push to try and gammon now, the options leaving two blots in shot range aren't as appealing as safely bringing down lots of ammo and preparing for that blitz I have in mind  ;)
