In Response To: backgame surprises (Rod)

Enter with the first 4.

Make the 10 point with the next 2 4s.

I would make the 17 point with the last 4 but could be talked into most sensible 4s played from the back.

The strategic objective is to build a prime to prevent white from springing his spare back checkers.

As Trabi says: There a 3 ways to kill a backgame: prime, prime, prime.
