eXtreme Gammon Version: 2.10
The position itself is not very important, however it reminded me of the angst I often feel when I have an early 6 to play and I have to choose between slotting my bar or his. Here there is more to choose from than the bar's, but my main concern is the Bar vs Bar decision with an early 6.
The last time I choose the wrong one it was a 0.3 blunder. I doubt there is much point me posting that particular position apart from making myself look silly, however these plays are clearly a weakness for me.
I seem to remember (before kids and many lost braincells) I read somewhere that someone had studied these 6's and had some guidelines. A pointer to that resource, or your own thoughts would be appreciated.
