Having two "anchors" that are just two apart is usually not
good for the holder. Here, for example, O will probably want
to run off her 16pt soon, but will risk exposing a double shot.
With a 23-pip deficit, my first instinct is to pass. But O's
structure is considerably better than X's, and X may have trouble
clearing his remaining outfield points. If O exposes a blot and
X hits it, O may still be able to hit back and win. The race
deficit is slightly less than it might seem at first because of
X's wastage. I guess this is D/T.
