| Black to play 2-2. |
Our recommended play 
is to bring two men from white’s 12 point to black’s 11 point and two men from black’s 6 point to black’s 4 point.
This is a strong attacking position. Alternatively, should you have less experience than your opponent, you might bring two men up from white’s 1 point to white’s 4 point. It is seldom wrong to make your opponent’s 5 point, and it is an excellent defensive position. Double 2’s probably have more “correct” variations than any other double on the opening roll.
