Some of my biggest blunders arise because I play quickly by instinct
instead of thinking through the position. Here I rejected 6/4(4)
instinctively because of the huge ugly stack, and also because of
an instinct that the 6pt is valuable. But dumping checkers to the 1pt
and creating a gap on the 3pt in front of O's anchor is far worse.
The result is highly inflexible, creating several immediate blotting
rolls as well as long-term blotting danger.
