Unlimited Games. How should Red play 32?


You can’t blitz White’s rear checker, but you can prime it. 13/11, 13/10 threatens to prime it while 8/5, 7/5 makes the golden point and slots the bar-point. A much more direct approach.


White’s sixes are duplicated all over the board and so making the 5-pt is the stand-out play and 13/11, 13/10 is an error. If you move the blot on White’s 10-pt to his 9-pt the two plays become much closer.


Note that any split of the rear checkers is a blunder because it is the wrong game plan.
