In Response To: 43 for White (John O'Hagan)

Black has no board, so I don't care about gammon losses. What is the DMP play then? We are too far behind in the race, so the only game plan we have is to hit a shot and contain it. The play that maximizes both shot chance and board strength to contain it is 6/2 5/2.

In my analysis I did not consider possible cube turns by black (I have no idea whether black should turn the cube after 6/2 5/2 and whether we should take or pass if he does), so my conclusion might be way off. But this would be my thinking OtB since I don't know any better. My cube handling is atrocious.
