Match Play. Red leads 2-0 to 7. How should Red play 52?

White should not be given the chance to anchor on Red’s ace-point.

6/1*, 3/1 is very clear here. Even if the blot on Red’s 6-pt is hit he should not have any problems entering and escaping from White’s home board.

5/off, 2/off is a double blunder while 5/off, 3/1* is merely a very bad error.
