A problem most intermediates get wrong

This is the sort of position where playing automatically will cause you to wither and die on the 24-point. As nice as it would be to make the 10-point or safety the blot, 24/22 just has to be the 2. Presumably 10/9 is the correct ace.

Even though Blue's position remains dodgy, if he anchors on the 22-point he gets to keep playing, and if the blot gets hit at least he has some return shots. An important feature of Blue's position is the strong home board, without which he'd probably have to pass next roll anyway.
