| White to play 2-2. |
Make your eleven and four points. The alternate play would be to move your back men up from black one to black five point. This would be fine for defense, but why start the game with defense when you can make a strong attacking play? Our recommendation is a good blocking play, and it affords you a good chance of making an additional blocking point on your next roll.
