| Black to play 6-6. |
It would not, as some experts suggest, be advisable to move four men down from white’s 12 point to black’s bar point. The recommended play 
is to move two men down from white’s 12 point to black’s bar point, and two men from black’s 8 point to black’s 2 point. This play prevents black from breaking white’s 12 point early in the game — an unusually bad practice.
