Light to play 44

In Response To: Light to play 44 (John O'Hagan)

It seems like the choice is between hitting the blot on the two (10/2* 6/2), rolling the four prime forward with 8/4(3) or extending the prime to 5 with 13/9(3). There are some other possibilites too, but I'm not in the mood to leave lots of extra blots hanging around with the entered checker utg.

I'll go with the aphorism "attack a single checker, prime two checkers" and just make a five prime with 13/9(2) after entering with the first four. Then there's one more four to play, and we could slot the front of the 5 prime with 8/4. That I'm sure that works great when it does, but it also leaves four blots hanging around, and the opponent will hit loose just for the tempo, so I'm not convinced it's sound.

bar/21 13/9(3) for me.
