In set-up #553 the other side has already played three pucks: one in the 2 zone in the middle, one in the 2 zone in the middle and one in the 2 zone on the left. You have four.
The one to beat is the puck in the 2 zone in the middle, 37 cm from the far edge. Until one of yours is beyond it, none of yours score. Two of the pucks sit in the scoring zones close together, so one firm knock-off can clear the way for all four of yours.
Playing without aiming error, our Expert computer finished with 14 points; the Medium computer, with its normal error, scored 5.
The pucks are not deep, so a draw past them into the 2 or 3 zone is the simple plan. Keep your first puck central so the later ones can stop beside it.
