Money Play. How should Red play 33?


Something has to give here.


Red must hold White’s bar-point to provide an escape avenue for the rearmost checker.


Playing 8/5(2), 6/3(2) or 8/2(2) destroys Red’s connectivity and it will be very difficult to bring those outfield checkers home safely.


That leaves us with 13/10(3), 6/3 which is the only move that is not a blunder.

8/5 (2), 6/3 (2) for me, here.

Nothing is ideal, all moves compromise each other in different ways.

The two not-quite-useless builders on the 3 point compensate for loss of connectivity and holding point sacrifice.

White is overstretched, and blots may be shaking themselves loose immediately.

Yep, that's the fellow for me :)
