Stepping out into a double shot when O has a four-point board and X
is behind in the race seemed foolhardy to me. But X has a three-point
board of his own that protects him somewhat from being attacked, and
the alternative play of 8/2 creates a blot on the 2pt that could become
a persistent liability.
