    The runners are immobilized, and behind this far in the race it's
    probably wrong to run them.

    So, the choice seems to be between making the four point, making the 7
    and 10 points, or pointing on her head on the three point.


    I'll make the 7 and 10 points. Unstacking is always good, and making two
    points is usually better than making one, and making the ace point can
    turn out to be a liability.

    Not at all sure, but 13/7 13/10(2).

    This is a rather dramatic example of a tempo hit. O has threats to
    extend her prime, and also has outfield blots (particularly the one
    on X's 12pt) that are vulnerable to being hit. XG goes all out with
    the double hit 7/1 6/3* 5/2*.
