So juanz makes a bid for freedom by running out with one of his back chequers. In reply, the Herd now has 43 to play. Plenty of candidate moves, of which eight are on offer (in no particular order). Anything else you fancy, just ask.

5-pt match, juanz 0-3 Herd
Pipcount: juanz (red) 158, Herd (black) 167

We want a gammon here, so D 13/9 13/10*.

The hit is mandatory; slotting the 20-point is playable but not as incisive as bringing another checker into the zone.
