2024 - Position 18

XGID=-a----E-C---fE---c-e----B-:0:0:1:62:3:5:0:7:10

Match Play. Red 3-5 to 7. How should Red play 62?

At this score gammons are extremely useful therefore Red should be aiming for prime versus prime or blitzing positions and, general, should be steering for complex positions.

White has already escaped one checker.

These two factors make 13/11, 13/7 the best play. 24/18, 13/11 would be correct for money but here that would be a mistake but not technically an error as the equity difference is only 0.021.
