this game with me and Teal, saying he looked at 23-19 but didn't like it because it
preempted 11-15 exchange or the 11-16 squeeze, but he didn't consider it deep
enough because it was the best he had. Analysis shows the exchange would leave Red and White
about equal board positions. If 11-16, Red backs it up. Teal playing Alex's side
and suggesting Red could continue squeezing, but Tim goes mandown, trades for
the rebound exchange, or block it with 32. Of course it's always easier when you aren't
under the gun.
