Daily Quiz 4/17

1. 5/2* 1/off usually saves a roll over 5/2*/1 and therefore wins more gammons. Even if Blue is hit back, White's winning chances are pretty remote. I'll go for the gammon. 5/2* 1/off.

2. 6/5 is clear but do we split or make a point? The 11pt is less valuable when the 5pt is already made, and White's 64 would be somewhat duplicated (hitting versus making the 4pt) after we split. On the other hand, a point is a point. I guess I play 24/22 6/5 but won't be too surprised if 13/11 6/5 wins the rollout.

3. 6/4(2) wins the most games but since gammons count, I'd rip two with 1/off(2). For the remaining two 1's, I'm not sure whether it's better to keep a five-point board with 2/1(2) or give White an opportunity to get out of our hair with 6/5(2). I guess I try 6/5(2).
