2024 - Position 142


XGID=-A--a-DBB--AbCab-d-e----B-:0:0:1:65:1:0:0:9:10

 

Match Play. Red leads 1-0 to 9. How should Red play 65?


If you play on automatic you will play 24/13, lover’s leap. However, that would be a blunder as it doesn’t meet the demands of the position.

 

Red wants to promote contact and/or stop White from making inner board points. The only viable move is 24/18, 6/1 which achieves both aims unless White rolls a double.

 

Every other move is a bad error and 24/13, as noted above, is a blunder.
