| Black to play 6-4. |
Bring one man from white’s 1 point to white’s 11 point. In this play black is exposed to a direct 2, but if not hit, he has released one man and placed him in a position to create new points in his outer board. It is not recommended that black make his 2 point with this roll. Such a play accomplishes nothing except to advance two men too far too early.
