2020 - Position 4

XGID=--Ba-bE-C---bD-----bbbbbA-:1:1:1:66:0:0:3:0:10

Money Play. How should Red play 66?

Sixes don’t grow on trees as they say. Therefore, one of the sixes must be played 24/18. After that the other three play themselves, 13/7(2), 8/2.

13/7(4) is a blunder, while 13/1(2), keeping the mid-point and some connectivity is merely an error.

Red is by no means a favourite in this position, but he must take his best chance and that is 24/18, 13/7(2), 8/2.
