Match Play. Red trails 0-5 to 7. How should Red play 11?


Home board gaps in the bear-off create jeopardy. 7/6(3), 3/2 looks safe and it is for one roll but that 2-pt will be a lasting weakness.

 

Much better is 7/6(2), 3/2(2) which solves the 2-pt problem. White has two home board blots and his two and sixes are duplicated.

 

7/6(3), 3/2 is classified as an error by XG.
