In Response To: Black to play 32 (John O'Hagan)

At score, black doesn't care about losing a gammon, but he'd really like to win one. I think that distorts the play here.

White has a collection of candlesticks so black can play a bit more flexibly - I'd bring one down and move my runner up. But I'm torn between S or Z.

Slotting the 10 point (which is six points away from his anchor) seems stronger than slotting the 11 even though it exposes us to more hits. Luring him off the anchor is not such a bad thing, and making the 10 is worth much more than making the 11. So Z it is.

24/22 13/10.
