| Black to play 6-5. |
Since white’s bar point is blocked, black cannot run one man from white’s 1 point out to white’s 12 point as he would normally do. It is best, therefore, to move two men down from white’s 12 point to black’s 8 and bar points.
Do not move one man from white’s 12 point down to black’s 2 point. It accomplishes nothing, and since black must gamble in this situation, it would be best for him to place a blot on his bar point, since it is more valuable to secure if not hit.
