I apologize for my previous "Tricky 53" position being so trivial for all who were not named Paul or John.

Six positions are posted below. The first arose in a 9pt match (peever vs Kenji) with the side to play 53 trailing 2-0. I am posing the problems as if they were for money. I have no intention of rolling out any of these. If you want an even tougher challenge, then consider how to play 64 in each of the six positions.

Position 1.

	is shimohei score: 0 pip: 156 Money session Jacoby Beaver pip: 158 score: 0 is peever
XGID=--a---EaC---cEbA-c-e----A-:0:0:1:53:0:0:3:0:10
