What did Blomdahl shoot here? This position came up in a tournament. Lots of options, but which did the master shoot? He was white ball.

Half ball on the left side of red, then LSL. Enough speed to return to the left half of the table.

An alternative that is a little safer: quarter ball on the right side of white, then SSL, again with enough speed to return to the left end of the table.

That wasn't it.

This was what he ended up shooting. Interesting choice. I guess the trade off for dodging the red and a tight target in the corner is a very predictable natural english track?
