In Response To: The Donkey Corner #6 (Timothy Chow)

There is a world of difference between Play Mode and Analysis mode.

Having decided that the runners are going to benefit from the 2 roll I have 3 plays I can make with the 5. OTB the reflex 6/1 jumps out at me. In real play this is probably what I might have played .I have the time to reflect on other candidates. Ideally I would like to optimize in order to make the 5 point. This would mean leaving 2 blots on my home board . Looking at the 3 blots on the other side I realise that white would be happy to hit loose and maybe wrap things up pretty quickly. Qn re-entry I may send white to the bar. Blue could end up with 4 men behind that prime and suffer a crunched home board . The 6/1 play has value as a point maker and leaves only one blot. In that the reflex play and the best play are the same play “ the 5 plays itself” Im confused think I will go and lay down.LOL
