Is it an oxymoron to blitz cautiously? With ten checkers in the zone
and potentially two more of O's blots to pick up, X has some serious
blitzing potential in this position. At the same time, O has a
three-point board and X has two blots, so the game could turn around
in a heartbeat. According to the rollout, XG recommends the
conservative 8/5 for the fourth 3.
The variant below is less double-edged, and XG says that 24/21 is
also a viable fourth 3.
