Match Play. Blue leads 9-4 to 13. How should Blue Play 43?


With a large lead and the weaker home board, exposing yourself to an attack when having that weaker home board, by playing 20/13, is the wrong idea. Your opponent would love to execute a blitz attack. Don’t let him. The dull and prosaic 11/8, 6/2 is correct. With an even race just await developments.


I have just finished reviewing the new Mochy/Olsen book. The first section of that book talks about various structures and would easily lead one to the correct solution here.
