The Game Plan Is To Build a Board

Pick and pass may seem like a reasonable compromise between boldness and safety. It leaves only 6 indirect shots that hit on the 7pt.

To win this game, however, Blue needs to put his opponent on the bar, and keep him there. In that light, it becomes clear that Blue needs to make points. Stacking a dilly on the 3pt is not going to further the plan. Hitting and leaving the slot will.

Blue should “jump” over the bar, into his inner board, with two checkers.

J (Jump) = 8/4*, 7/6
