White is Player 2 score: 0 pip: 161 Unlimited Game Jacoby Beaver pip: 161 score: 0 Blue is Player 1 XGID=-b----E-D---eD---b-d-b-AA-:0:0:1:62:0:0:3:0:10 Blue to play 62 eXtreme Gammon Version: 2.01 Many players here will consider this obvious, but since it was not to me, I rolled it out. It brings up a general question: When is it correct to play split moves with 6x after an opponent has made his 4pt or 5pt? A good contrasting play is 42P-62. In the play above the rear checkers are already split, but in 42P-62, they are not. I'll post my 5k rollout tomorrow. Mike
