Game 5, move 16: ah_clem 6-5

[diane]

[ah_clem]

A rather inflexible roll.  I can either leave lots of blots in hopes of improving my timing by playing 18/7 or I can trade the ace point for the midpoint with 24/13.

I'm not sure which is better, but were I sitting in the Herd's seat I'd rather see all those blots than have to contend with white's midpoint.  So I'm going to go for the move that seems most painful to my opponent.

24/13.
