You are balck, it's DMP and you have a great roll here...you can make your bar point or you can make an inner board point....what's your play?









The top player (Petko) made his inner board point, and it probably cost him the match. And it was a big match...semi finals of a major tournament. It is right to make the bar here.

I am glad I found the correct answer but I was not playing for a seat in the final (what usually makes me lose my control and by the way the match)
The main reason I took for making the bar is that this way we block his sixes and he will be leaded to destroy his prime soon. Black is a bit more flexible and he has 3 builders for the inner point.
