X to play 42
In an early-game blot-hitting contest, it's usually almost automatic
to hit the checker that is in the opponent's outfield rather than in
one's own outfield. But here, XG cringes at bar/23 20/16*, and
thinks that it's worse than bar/23 6/2* or even the non-hitting
bar/23 13/9. Its preferred play is bar/21 9/7*, which keeps the
golden anchor and reduces return shots. It makes sense for X to be
prepared for a defensive game if necessary, since X is on the losing
end of this blot-hitting contest.
