Unfortunately, the thickness may have altered the temperature of the rest of the board. But if not, the question of whether to play at a or elsewhere should be close.

The position in the top right is independent of the rest of the board. It has a count of -7 and a local temperature of 14. The negative count is like a komi of 7.

Even if 14 is the ambient temperature, I prefer to play elsewhere because there is the psychological, optimistic advantage of superior decision making:)
