Posting three rollout results below: (1) at the given score, (2) for money, and (3) at gammon go.
When this position came up in the match, I quickly pointed on my opponent and never really considered the alternative. My opponent fanned, I made my 5pt with 64 and I cruised on to win an easy gammon for the match. I was shocked and stunned when XG said my play was a whopper/cheese.
Blue leads by 27 pips before the shake. He leads in the EPC by maybe something like 22, more or less. Blue should be content with minimizing contact, trying to capitalize on his racing lead.
The problem with pointing on White is that Blue ends up leaving too many shots, especially if White enters with a 3.
I hope not too many people chose 6/4* 6/1.
