| Black to play 3-1. |
A good general rule: When in doubt, hit. (But there has to be doubt.)
Ordinarily black would make his 5 point, but in this case he should hit white’s exposed man. In fact, black should do this with any 4 except for double 1’s. There is certainly no doubt as to how double 1’s should be played.
