| White to play 2-1. |
Another intriguing decision. The best immediate percentage for white is to give black a 2 shot by starting the 4 point, but on his next roll he might not be able to cover, and might even have to leave two men open. In these circumstances white decides to move one outside man to his 5 point and gamble against a 6 — a 20 to 16 shot in his favor because 3-3 doesn’t hit.
