The problem with the "leaves" is that your opponent will take advantage, if
possible. And if you snooker them so that they can't make a play off of what
you played ....... neither can you. I just made a play in a game that will
potentially open a quarter of the board - and there will no doubt be some
regrets on my part. But, it was getting really tough to find *any* plays in
what was not in virgin territory.
