Match Play. 0-0 to 5. How should Red play 31?

White’s position is very threatening with twelve checksrs in the zone.

Red must take immediate diversionary action. The only way to do that is to hit 4/3, 4/1*. The move is obvious once you see it but over the board Red played 13/10, 11/10 which is a double blunder. You cannot play a move you don't see.

13/9 is merely a single blunder. Stay alert!!
