If I had considered the bot play, I would certainly have played it -- it couldn't
be clearer. We don't care about the return shots because we hope to hit
back on the 23 point.
But I somehow missed it and whoppered.

Hmmm, do you recall someone saying about the need to play
doublets carefully?

I wonder whether he was right.
