Red 1,3,7,12,k13,20,26,k25
white 6,10,14,15,19,18,22,23,27

Hi John,
It is my guess that it is red to move and win.

Patrick,
You are a breath of fresh air . . . a modern day player who has recognized the beauty of a good giant stroke. There are many good ones that languish in books by specialists A. C. Hews and Melvyn Green.
There is a certain exhilaration one gets from solving a difficult problem with a conclusive finish. In the checker world, I believe the feeling is topped only by composing a problem of that caliber.
I hope you continue to express your talent and appreciation of problems by participating in the Problem Composing Contests, both as a judge and as a composer.

Patrick,
Why did you stop at one? Was it a bad experience?

Patrick,
An old idea can be expanded or refined in new directions.
That's what composers do.
Please be on the lookout for such opportunities.
