Two Tough Checker Plays

In Response To: Two Tough Checker Plays (Paul Weaver)

10pt, and since I have been playing against XG Mobile a whole lot recently, I will play the super-stupid 13/11(4) in position 2. Am I influenced by Pauls remark that noone has got the 2nd one right yet? A little bit - and I am not confident about it. Would I play that OTB? Only if I was certain it was right.

Normally, I play 4(2) and 11(2) in similar position types - as a rule of thumb, but with the general state of the game, and massive stackyness that blue has, the lack of spares on the 13 after the 11pt play and the old 'it doesnt have to be pretty to be correct' gem, it has to be right. I dont like 9(2) though, for sure, the super 4pt is tempting, but its not a solid checker progression, is it - its not moving the position forwards from the back.
