This article considers a two-person zero-sum game in which a traveller, player I, chooses a point in the closed unit interval [0,1] so as to minimise the probability of being ambushed by two obstacles placed there by his adversary, player II. The payoff to player I equals 1 if the point chosen by him is not in either of the intervals chosen by player II and 0 otherwise. This paper complements the results obtained by Ruckle, Baston and Bostock, and Lee.
