General Notes

Always hit if you can but 11N is only a small error.  11H is slightly superior b/c opponent has bad 6's from the bar.

Counterslot with 21 and 51.  51$ probably correct owing to the slight duplication of opponent's 4's

43U is a rare case where up is correct.  Reason is probably to molest the builder on the 9 pt

Important to split with 32 and 52.  Logic again is opponent will almost certainly make 5 point, when you are behind in the priming battle.

63R to leap over his offensive structure

33 Up and make an inner point for sure. Making 5 point or 3 point with the other 3's are tied.

44 hit two, then make the 4 point.  This wins more gammons.  Note 13/9(2) with the other 4's wins more plain games.

not sure why up is best.  Perhaps b/c our 10 pt builder is inefficient or perhaps b/c his 9 pt builder is strong

Up and make a home board point is concept.  Opp. Would rather cover than hit you with a 7.  Making 5 point or 3 points are tied.
