O has two items of compensation to consider. (1) X has three
checkers behind O's four-prime, with only one of them ready to
jump out directly with a 6 (and his 6's are duplicated to jump
out and cover). (2) X still has a blot in his board that he
might not cover. I thought this was enough to give O a take,
but XG disagrees. But see the variant, where X's blot has been
shifted from his 2pt to his 1pt.
