In Response To: The Othello Quiz! (Stick)

White has 5's and 6s to hit whatever Blue does, and if he fails, he crunches.

If White does hit, Blue is in trouble, so minimising blots will minimise gammon losses. That indicates 12/6. Blue's biggest asset is his 4-prime, so breaking it with 7/1(2) is a bad idea; White would be able to play freely. That indicates that 20/14(2) is required, followed by 16/10. That last six looks nasty, but it isn't really. The hitting numbers are duplicated, and by coming forward it gives White the least time to pick it up as a second chequer.

My play is 20/14(2) 16/10 12/6.
