Keep on Dancing!

The surest way to win a gammon is to have our opponent continue dancing. To that end, switching to the 3pt looks like our best chance to hold a four-point board next turn.

If we wanted to bear off two checkers, we could try 5/1 2/off. That play would leave us odd, with 11 checkers remaining in play. If we could get down to 10, then the argument for ripping two would be much stronger.

If we knew XG were going to enter behind us, then bearing off four checkers would certainly be our best play. Unfortunately, we have no such guarantee.

5/3(3), 2/off

Mike
