Match Play. Red leads 6-4 to 7 (Crawford). How should Red play 55?


With an active cube 21/16(2), 7/2(2)* would clearly be correct because of the extra gammons won.


As gammons are irrelevant Red would like to destroy White’s timing so he cannot contain any hit checkers.


The best play to achive this objective is 21/16(3), 10/5. Any other play is a blunder.
