| Black to play 1-1. |
This being a double and the strongest possible opening throw on the dice, enables him to cover his 5 point in his Home table, also his 7 or Bar Point.
Both players are aiming at securing a row of Blocked Points to block the escape of the Opponent’s two men in their inner table.
Black’s throw of a Double has left a blot on his 8 point but the chances are very slim that White will get a throw that will enable him to hit this man.
