Forum, blue, to move 6-4

As always, there are more options, should you want them.

We want to keep our army in front of the runners and block them.  So, hitting with 12/2* is anti-positional.  I'd like to keep two anchors for the moment, so that negates playing from the 20 or 23.  I like the 15 where it is, controlling the outfield.  So that leaves 22/12, making a point and bringing another builder into range.

22/12 looks like a nice play. It denies White the chance to point on our head (6-6, 3-3, 6-3, 6-1, 3-1) and it neatly block 5-5 and 4-4! That'll do for the moment.

I don't see any merit in a play that leaves that blot on the 22 point. Jumping out with it only enhances our outfield control while holding 2 of his points.

22 - 12 for me.
