White's board is very weak, so Red is afford to put his checkers where they belong for maximum board control.
20/15 is the best 5, controlling the outer-board. The best 2 for Red is 8/6, not 15/13 or 13/11. The spare on the 8-point belongs to the 6-point, which gives Red a good diversification. Also, 8/6 brings another builder for the 4-point. The safe 20/13 is not a bad play, but it fails to make the most efficient use of your checkers when your board is far stronger than your opponent's. |
