Daily Quiz 17 february 2012

Number 1:

The blue position is better, he is ahead in the race, and he has a threat.

Even the worst blue moves D5, 41,31,53 are very good. I think this is a clear pass.

Due to the possible 6 checkers back, there is some gammonpotential, but there is also a rather high backgame potential.

Still I do not see a possible backgame as a marketloser, I think this is too good.

Answer: TGTD

Number 2:

We want to maximise our chances to cover the 2-blot next turn. And it seems that the fancy 10/8 8/6(2) 5/3 gives us extra chance to do so next turn (against an extra risk of 3/36).

But after the safer 10/6 5/3(2), we have exactly the same cover numbers (D3 and 32 also cover!!).

Answer: 10/6 5/3(2)

Number 3:

We are a bit ahead in the race after this move and normally I would tend to playing the standard 6/4(2) 13/11(2) or 13/11 (4) to increase playability and diminish the force of the 9-anchor.

But now we are far back in the match and the vulnerable white board gives blue extra chances in a blitz situation, on top of that, if we succeed to close the checker out, white has 9 extra outfield crossovers, this brings our gammonchance after close-out to about 50%.

Answer: 6x2(2)
