O.K., 8/4*(2) is obvious. Then what? 5/1*(2) is worth a look but it gives up so many winning chances that I can't believe it's correct. Did I mention how I'm never quite sure how aggressively to play at 2-away/many-away? 13/9(2) looks more gammonish than 20/16(2). However, I would just play 20/16(2). Undoubled gammons are valuable of course, but in the process of going after the gammon, we also want to minimize the chances of a blip along the way that causes our opponent to turn the cube, so generally I'm wary of taking too many risks in pursuit of the gammon. It would be annoying to play 13/9(2) and then to get hit back on the midpoint.
