Match Play. Blue trails 0-4 to 5 (Crawford). How should Blue play 43?

Checkers must work for a living!

The next point Blue want to make is the 3-pt so playing 10/3 is very clear here. If White hits the blot Blue may stay on the bar which is very good for him as White is running out of timing and may crash his board.

Playing 10/6, 4/1 is only a small error but the key lesson here is to get those checkers working.
