Money Play. How should Red play 31?

Trailing in the race and with four loose checkers the priority here must be defence and 24/20 is very clear. That way Red is in the game for a long time.

If he makes his-5-pt with the ace, then the 3 is difficult and will expose another blot which is too risky.

This is a good position for demonstrating priorities.
