| White to play 6-4. |
You should not make the normal running play with a back man, since your blot on black’s eleven point would be exposed to direct hits by either a 2 or 4. Instead use our recommended alternate play for the opening move: move one back man to the black bar point, and one man “around the corner,” from black twelve to your nine point.
