| Black to play 4-3. |
Black correctly refuses the bait. With a man from his 8 point he covers the blot on his 4 point, and plays the blot on white’s 11 point to his own 11 point. With this he is vulnerable to a 6, but to his opponent’s cost of breaking the 5 point. (Alternatively, this roll could have been played from white’s 11 and 12 points to black’s 10 point, thus blocking white’s 5’s. This move also has merit, and some experts might prefer it.)
