Match Play. Red leads 4-1 to 5 (Crawford). How should Red play 21?
At this score gammon prevention outweighs board purity and also Red does not have the timing to play a 3pt anchor game. Therefore, making White’s 5-pt takes priority.
There is no significant difference between 22/10, 11/10 and 22/20, 6/5.
