Money Play. How should Red play 33?
Something has to give here.
Red must hold White’s bar-point to provide an escape avenue for the rearmost checker.
Playing 8/5(2), 6/3(2) or 8/2(2) destroys Red’s connectivity and it will be very difficult to bring those outfield checkers home safely.
That leaves us with 13/10(3), 6/3 which is the only move that is not a blunder.
