White's blot on his 11-point makes it more attractive for Blue to make the golden point.
9/5 8/5 strips the 8-point and uses the wrong checker to make the 5-point (Blue would rather use the checker on the 6-point),
but the play avoids the multiple indirect shots at Blue's blot on the 9-point.
Blue's back checkers are split and White doesn't have enough builders for point-making purposes.

It is close, but I prefer the offensive approach in this position.
