Black to play D3

Definitely hit and cover on the 5-point. Then figure out what to do with the other two threes. With his formidable board, I don't think blotty plays like 13/7 are the right choice, so moving the third checker from the 8 to the 5 seems almost forced. That leaves either 13/10 or 6/3 as the final 3.

6/3 is completely safe for now, and the six is in desperate need of unstacking. Usually I don't like putting a spare on the three before the 4 point is made, but with 6 stones on the 6 point I've still got three spares for the 4 point.

13/10 seems a bit more flexible and with a checker on the roof we can be a bit blotty - there's only two fly shots from the bar. I think I'd rather have the four point or another outfield point than another deep homeboard point and moving to the ten facilitates that better than moving to the three.

8/5(3)* 13/10
