Remember, you want to isolate two white marbles on a1 and b1 if the first marble is placed in the red area. Your strategy is to force your opponent to jump into the a1-d1 line. In the most cases you first have to force a jump into the d1-g1 line and remove g1 to force a jump onto d1.
You leave the board like this:
N = marble of free choice
nn = ring of free choice
First marble placed on a1 or b1:
Note that in this case you can choose one ring to remove.
