Is the asset of the 4-pt worth more than leaving additional shots? 11/4 or 8/2, 6/5?


Yes, and it is not close.

2) 8/2, 6/5 doesn’t solve the problem of clearing the mid-point and the 11-pt. Blue could very soon face the same problem again.


8/2, 6/5 is a blunder (just). As Kent Goulding says, “put them where you want them”.
