In this prime-vs-prime battle, white is the clear underdog, because he has 2 men back againt 1 man of red. In this position, making the 2-pt is an awful mistake, because afterward red can escape with a 6 and then white will be in a very awkward position. Instead, it's better for white to make his bar-pt and waiting hopefully to see red's breaking his prime.

The leftist's feelings of inferiority run so deep that he cannot tolerate any classification of some things as successful or superior and other things as failed or inferior. This also underlies the rejection by many leftists of the concept of mental illness and of the utility of IQ tests.  - T.K
