Yet another diagram! As I decreased the board size in GnuBG itself, this makes the text relatively bigger. Hopefully some of you don't have to squint anymore now  , let me know how this works out for you.

13/10, 6/5 This just seems like the best thing to do.  Although I wasn't really afraid of getting hit with an indirect at this time. The other two reasonable moves seem to be about the same.  7/3 or 6/3, 13/12. I would just prefer to to slot behind the anchor at this time.  My sixes lok like they would play oddly but i can always use them to break my anchor

That board is excellent - I will use that approach too 

As for the move, seems pretty straightforward - cant do anything but 'what he said'

I agree with not worrying about being hit at this point but I'd do 6/3. That's more to keep control of the outer table than to build the home, though home building rarely hurts.

Keeping a guard in the outer field is slightly better than making safe.

I like rkb's move best.  What does Gnu know?     It's safe for me!

Clearly not a double yet, our anchor means we don't lose too many gammons and our race lead gives us plenty of ways to win (almost 40% here).
