Fibsboard Forum Match 18 Game 4 Move 24 Herd to move

juanz makes his ace point and now the Herd gets a 31. Making the 4-pt seems obvious but is it the best
play?

5-pt match, juanz 0-4 Herd, Crawford

Spoiler

yes it is.  you 1. make an inner board point.  2. complete the prime.  3. close the gap.  next!

Clearly making the 4-pt is best, so moving swiftly on...
