Unlimited Games. How should Red play 61?
A relatively easy one to start the year.
Trailing substantially in the race Re should take the anchor in White’s home board with bar/24 and then play 13/7 with the six. This brings another checker into the zone and unstacks the mid-point.
Bar/24/18 is the wrong game plan. White has eleven checkers in his attack zone and Red should not be giving him the chance to use them effectively. Bar 24/18 is very nearly a blunder and is certainly a very bad error.
