Boring Backgame Double Four

In Response To: Boring Backgame Double Four (Neil Robins)

The main decision seems to be whether to try to win going forward, or to stay with the backgame.

If I stay with the backgame, making the 5 point looks to be the most pure, so that's probably the best backkgame-preserving play.

The other option is to try to win going forward by hitting and making the bar point. With a three point prime and nine checkers in the zone blue might be able to contain the runner long enough to bust white's forward position. Yes, this leaves the blot on the 4, but I'm not sure white even wants to hit it - if she does, it's back to the backgame with good timing.

I prefer to try to win going forward when I can, so I'll play 15/11*(2)/7(2).
