Thank you (Doing a Koca)

The Koca is when one has a blot on the advanced inner board of an opponent's board and one then advances a lone back checker from the 24-point to a lower opponent's inner board point than the existing blot as opposed to the more usual slotting one's own 5-point or playing 10/9, etc. (Sidebar: I believe it is merely coincidence that the definition of it is nearly as impossible to understand as one of its namesake's posts). For instance playing 24/23 13/8 in the following position.





White is Player 2

score: 0
pip: 161
1 point match
pip: 158
score: 0

Blue is Player 1
XGID=-aa---E-D---dD---d-eA---A-:0:0:1:51:0:0:0:1:10
Blue to play 51

This would, of course, be an incorrect play here and is commonly called a faux-ca.

In our OLM example we enter bar/21 and then 6/5 is too crazy with his board and the double shot so I figured it's best to "Koca" the ace 24/23.
