It doesn't seem like an awesome tempo play to me. It looks like it's setting O up to play offence of two fronts now instead of one, and X, relying on a racing lead, should hope to fight only one battle.

X to play 42

XG's answer to the subject line is yes. There will be a big swing if
O fails to make her bar and X manages to hit that blot. If we lift
O's blot on her bar point to her 6pt, then XG plays safe (see variant).
