Subject: Re: Which point to make?

I'm surprised that there is a debate about this, I'm pretty sure that any other move is a blunder.

grenv: I would be interested to see what Snowie or Gnubg would say -- Snowie especially loves the 5 point. If I had not already stripped my midpoint, I probably would have made the 5 without hesitation. Consensus seems to be building for the hit on the actual situation.

gogul: Thanks, gogul. So there's a 2% equity swing between the two moves. That's pretty significant!
