Game from page 124 "Second International Checker Match 1927"

Position at A 24-19

Position at B 3-7

Position at C 20-24

Game End Position 31-26 Drawn.

According to Note B Jordan's 2-6, "a move of doubtful quality" was answered by Barker's 27-24 and missed a win, but the move to win and further analysis was omitted. The below analysis shows a win by answering Jordan's 2-6 with 31-26 instead of 27-24 to form the position in the left diagram, below.

Red to move, White Wins
