In Response To: Peever vs Dmitriy, Three Positions (Christian Munk-Christensen)

Position 1: Agree with Christian, 21 and 4* is what I would play OTB, and believe is correct, also with QF. It makes an important anchor and fights for the 4-point. The drawback is that the play exacerbates the stack on the 6 and the returns against a stronger board at a moment when the race is close, but it is the most positional play available.

The alternative is not so much making the 4 which fails to make an anchor, important with more checkers back, and leaves a return shots with combined with a wrong reply (any 5 or 6 except 45 and 46) could spell trouble, but the double hit and B/21 6/2. B/21 6/2 tries to protect the race, but leaves opp with a completely free hand, whereas the double hit is anti-positional and does not make any positional progress. So 21, 4* in the end, also the first intuition.

Position 2: Making the 2 is the standout play with most covers and also the possibility to clear the 6 early.

Position 3: D/T for me as well. Hits are obviously strong, and just entering is fine. Dancing is bad, but this seems a good moment to cube AtS with many gammons in the offing after the 12 hits - and we want those with the cube on 2.
