LionsLair: You should have moved out of your opponent's home anyway! ;-) At that stage of the game your own home table is your only asset. Breaking your home table should be done with the utmost reluctance. You drastically reduced its effectiveness by moving 6/1 4/1. A 3-point table is next to useless at holding an opponent. Better would have been to run, 22/14, and get the man home, hopefully to make a block on 6. That would give you a 5-point table and might save the game. The danger of your two remaining blots being hit is certainly a worry but keeping those back men safe is pointless if, when they get a chance to take action, it's ineffective.
