X to play 44

X's huge advantage in board strength allow him to play boldly, but
sorting through all the possibilities here is a challenge. Let me
focus on comparing just two plays: assuming X plays 18/10 13/9,
should he then play 14/10 or 13/9 with the last 4? To figure this
out, it is not enough to count how many rolls allow X to hit; we
have to assess the quality of these hits and whether X will even
dare to hit. After 14/10, for example, XG does not hit if O rolls
62 or 41, but after 13/9, XG will hit with 62 or 51. X's 10pt after
14/10 is a better "guard" (against O breaking anchor to hit) than
X's 9pt after 13/9. The duplication of 2's after 13/9 is less
significant than the duplication of aces after 14/10.
