Its early in the game and the red team is looking to score with hammer. The guards are positioned in a classical fashion after some good opening shots, and now yellow has just missed a takeout. The red skip is considering the following 4 options. Pick the best three in order
A) Guard the shot stone in the 8 foot with an in-turn.
B) Draw around the Red guard and split the house.
C) Draw around the center guard to lie 2 and takeaway the button
D) Draw to the button with an out turn behind the center guard.
