Tough 32, Many Legal Plays

In Response To: Tough 32, Many Legal Plays (Paul Weaver)

For most players I don't actually care what the correct play is here. For me this is a good problem to use as a lesson to whittle away those plays that are definitely wrong and larger errors down into plays that have a chance of being correct and follow the correct game plan.

Fact #1 - being so far down in the race with our opponent having so many men in the zone makes splitting unappetizing to the max. Any play that touches the back checkers is worthless.

Fact #2 - The only weakness my opponent has is his yet to be escaped back checker. I need to play against this checker. This means I probably want more outfield coverage which I will get from playing a checker from the midpoint.

With these two key points we have already narrowed our scope down to not moving the back checkers, half our play being 13/11 or 13/10, and then depending on what midpoint play we chose, the other half of our play will have only 1 valid option.
