Pointing on the 2-point with a 6-4 has a lot going for it if your opponent has split with an ace. Here, it is true that 8/2* 6/4 takes away half of White's roll, but Red's position is somewhat disorganized after the play. After the superior play of 15/9 13/9, Red has no outfield blots to worry about and his position is better connected since his 8-point is not stripped. |
