Comment:
Snowie played the simple Bar/21, eXtreme does not like that at all and evaluates that move as a blunder. Best, according to eXtreme is the positional sound play Bar/22 6/5*.

10/30/2010 4:24 PM, nori: Contacting. Nothing else. Black is 20pip behind. 6/5 is "double direction" play. If it gets hit back, black has option to play backgame. If not, play with making 5pt. 6/5 over 8/5, because of spare/covering builder distribution.
