Fred Reinfeld in his concise guide How To Win At Checkers covers the first six moves of the
Glasgow Opening with the usual 1. 11-15 23-19, 2. 8-11 22-17, 3. 11-16 24-20, 4. 16x23 27x18x11,
5. 7x16 20x11, 6. 3-7 28-24.
But for white's sixth move he writes: The alternative 11-8 is also playable.
The Glasgow Opening is covered on pages 59-61 of the electronic edition of Fred Reinfeld's checkers book.
