White is XG Roller++ score: 7 pip: 145 15 point match Crawford pip: 99 score: 14 Blue is BGO Readers XGID=a--CBBC--BA-dB--bc-c-b----:0:0:1:65:14:7:1:15:10 Blue to play 65

Time To Leave the Midpoint

Playing two from the midpoint leaves three blots and gets us hit when XG rolls 62, 61, or 52. Moving 13/8 10/4 leaves only two blots and exposes us to rolls of 62, 21, and 11.

The O (Outer) family in Nactation contains moves that play one die “down” to a destination in the roller’s outer board and the other die by “jumping” into the inner board from the outer board. The Hit-More-6 Rule ranks its members. Because there no moves that hit or make a point in this position, the 6pt Convention decides the issue. The move that lands a spare in the inner board closest to the 6pt get the capital, so O = 10/5, 13/6. My chosen move gets the lower case letter.

o (outer) = 13/8, 10/4
