X to play 63

X has ten checkers in the zone, which is often enough to justify a blitz attempt. However, X has only a two-point board, and O's forward position
has no weaknesses, so it's not that easy for the blitz to succeed. Also,
X has a strong alternative play of advancing his anchor to O's bar
point.

See the variant for a position where attacking is a more viable plan.
