Hay's shot

Post by George Hay »

Hay's shot is so named in Vocabulary Of Checkers by W.T. Call, and is featured in Lees' Guide. ACF Bulletin #371 Oct 2014 features Hay's shot on
the bottom of page 12 as part of Corrections of Kear's Encyclopedia by Jim Loy. This move order from the bulletin is a slight transposition from VOC:
1. 11-15, 23 19; 2. 8-11, 22 17; 3. 4-8, 17 13; 4. 15-18, 24 20; 5. 9-14, 28 24; 6. 10-15, 19x10; 7. 6x15, 26 23; 8. 12-16?
White to play and win, by William Hay, 1838.

The bulletin does not give away the winning moves! :)
