Comment:
There are some interesting choices: Obviously you can clear the 6-point, but where should you play the last ace? It turns out, that playing 3/2 (smoothing and remaining even on the 5-point) is already a serious mistake, you should play 5/4. Also pay attention to the second best move, clearing the 5-point. Opposed to position 814 (totally smooth) it is not best, but very close.
