Game 5 move 8 The Herd to play4-2

[ah_clem]

We have a non-trivial move to make.  Wake up, everybody.

I see no reason to leave any blots about, and simply moving to the bar point looks like the most flexible structure.

The other two non-blot-leaving plays are probably not too far behind.  13/7.

Ok, maybe it's not that non-trivial.  I'll next this as soon as I get home to the computer with the match on it.

I didn't bother to roll this one out.  Our choice is clearly correct, but I'm a bit surprised how much worse the other safe plays are.   I guess this move was trivial after all.  Sorry for waking everyone.
