Nice 'problem'. Saving the blot or the runner.
I'm really unsure about this. bar/20 14/8 might be best, but I don't like leaving the runner there, vulnerable for attacks. On the other hand, you don't really have ammo and being hit will bring me another shot on your 1-point.
Of course, a 4-4 or 3-3 wouldn't be nice.
/bar14 gives you a direct hit. But then you have to give up your strong position on the bar point, giving me some nice return shots. Of course there is another indirect shot (2-5) left as well.
Hmmm... don't know. I just like that play better.
So it will be bar/14.
