Match Play. Red trails 0-1 to 7. How should Red play 53?


Red must take the risk of losing a few more gammons to create direct contact with the checkers on White’s 9-pt.


Either 23/18, 9/6 or 23/18, 8/5 is correct, swapping 4% gammon losses for 5% wins, a very good trade indeed. All other moves are very bad errors.
