Unlimited Games. How should Red play 44?

Time for a bot play! Red wants to stop White escaping a rear checker, thus giving him more timing.

While 9/1(2) looks sensible the best play is in fact 10/2, 5/1(2), forcing White to roll a 16 to escape a checker. This move should give Red more time to roll his own six next turn.

The key here is to identify the right game plan and then execute it.
