Match Play. Red leads 10-0 to 13. How should Red play 54?
Red has no development other than holding White’s 5-pt. This not the time to play on automatic and give it up for a cheap shot. 20/11* is a double blunder.
The simple 13/9, 13/8 is correct, awaiting developments.
The score is a red herring. 20/11* is never right.
12/8 12/9 I am guessing at this score you want to avoid gammons and the double cube will come across if you hit. So hold the 5 point for now.
