I'm going to call this Anchors away 5 even though it's only the
fourth distinct position I've posted in this series, just to
avoid further Subject line confusion.

22/20* 13/10
We are not favourites but we must make a move now, otherwise we are asking to be primed in on opp's 3pt.
With our race lead we do not have the timing to sit on the anchor.
We have some protection from duplication.

I like BlueDice's analysis. Of course there's also the fact that the
alternative play of 6/1 is not particularly attractive.

1. Rollout¹ 22/20* 13/10 eq:-0.277
Player: 43.35% (G:14.19% B:0.62%)
Opponent: 56.65% (G:18.17% B:1.17%)
Confidence: ±0.014 (-0.290..-0.263) - [100.0%]

2. Rollout² 6/1 eq:-0.350 (-0.073)
Player: 41.10% (G:10.17% B:0.29%)
Opponent: 58.90% (G:15.59% B:0.55%)
Confidence: ±0.014 (-0.364..-0.335) - [0.0%]

If X hits, where to play the three? 13/10, abandoning the midpoint?
Might be the bot move, but modern play advocates that if you have
slotted the ace point might as well go ahead and make it. Well, some of
the time anyway.

So I'll just make a second home board point and try to depend on being
ahead in the race to bring this one home.

6/1.
