In Response To: 2-1 to play (Barry Murphy)

OTB, I'd probably just play 21/20 8/6 without thinking about it too hard.

Looking at it more deeply, I think 13/11 is probably the superior deuce - the 4,6,8,10 structure is a poor deployment of four points and 13/11 should geive a lot more combos to make another point than 8/6.

For the ace, I'll still go with 21/20. But maybe something like 10/9 or 8/7 or even slotting the five point is the right idea. White is way behind in the race and black has two buried on the ace point, so maximizing contact or provoking an exchange of hits favors white.

But I'll stay with a more "normal" play.

21/20 13/11
