White - Pips 160 (+9)

Black - Pips 151 (-9)
Black to Play 4-3
Created with Diagram Builder



Three candidates here: (1) hit two, (2) make 10pt, (3) loose hit and bring one down 8/5* 14/10


What would you choose and why?

Well the double hit looks good to me- decent chance he doesn’t get both off the bar, keeps him from building his board and not the end of the world if you get hit back - other plays seem too passive

I agree that hitting two looks best. It would be nice to unstack the 13 but making the 10pt isn't worth much.

I like the 10-point because it improves our position in so many ways. Take a look:

(1) Makes a point (all points are valuable).

(2) Cleans up a blot.

(3) Unstacks the midpoint.

(4) Preserves our racing lead (we're up 16 after we play).

(5) Preserves our advantage of only one man back versus two.

That's too many small edges to pass up. The double-hit could lead to a winning blitz, but the return hits ruin our position.
