a strong recube, perhaps a pass. To prevent that I'll hit loose on the
three point, then the question becomes how to play the four.
Banana split? Sure. O has no board so recirculating checkers should help
X even if he doesn't pick up one of the blots on the way. If O fails to
hit, X should be able to cover at least one of the slotted points. And I think keeping the midpoint is better than 13/9 since X wants to increase contact.
9/3* 8/4.

Ah....Clem
The future is fun, the future is fair.
That is not what a banana split play is.

break a home-board point, creating two new blots in the process.

Not just "I agree with Stick" but "I have to agree with Stick"
implying that your aim is to disagree with him as much as possible
and will only agree with him if forced to.
