Match Play. Red trails 0-3 to 5. How should Red play 33?
There are two approaches here.
21/15(2) keeps the checkers connected and is the correct play for money by a long way.
Because this is a Gammon Go scenario 8/2, 6/3, 5/2, which is a blunder for money is within 0.007 points of being the best play. Did you consider that idea?
If the score was 1-3 then 8/2, 6/3, 5/2 would be the only valid move.
