    Sorry, this post was part of my mix-up...it's of course a
    duplicate of "Anchors away 2."

    21/16 2/1 leaves aces, dueces, and sixes to hit. X is going to the roof
    if he runs. But a lot of those hits are loos, and X has a five point
    board so maybe...


    Clearing the eight point only leaves 11 shots, after which X is up by 16
    pips, and the eight point isn't blocking much of anything so I'll go
    with that.

    The other option is 6/1 2/1 which is ugly enough to make me think it
    might be the bot play, but too ugly for me to play myself.
