Is this another chance to open up a 2nd blot?

Thanks, Mike. Considering that these kinds of decisions can easily be double whoppers, I find a 0.046 difference to be fairly close.

You are welcome. I am still digesting the few examples in this thread, so I have not yet developed a feel for the size of the error involved in making the 2nd-best play. What you say certainly seems plausible.

I am going to be on the lookout for more positions where this issue arises (whether or not the hit is correct). When I find them, I will post them here. I hope others will as well. I remember that Jeremy Bagai’s Classic Backgammon Revisited includes one where Joe Dwek erroneously recommends hitting.

Mike
