| Black to play 4-3. |
Black hits white’s blot on his 2 point with a man from his 6 point, and moves out to white’s 8 point with the 3, leaving 2’s everywhere. A roll of 2-2 by white now would be a disaster, but the risk is worthwhile. To move 3 from his own 6 point to his 3 point would of course be safer, but it is awkward and craven.
