Unlimited Games. How should Red play 52?

The obvious play is 11/6, 7/5 and that move is not an error.

However, Red can take advantage of White’s home board blots by playing 11/6, 9/7. That play will make clearing his mid-point a bit easier and it risks very little.

The key is to see that 11/6, 9/7 is a possible move. I think most players would move 11/6, 7/5 on automatic.
