In Response To: A backgammon position (Stick)

Hit or make the 5 point. Instinctively I want to come in on the 23 pt and make the 5 pt. I feel like we should get plenty of opportunities to get a shot in the next few rolls and the race is close as it is. However, if they cover that blot next roll, we may never see another shot and it's much easier for them to escape a lone back checker past a 4 prime than 2 checker past a three prime (just me recklessly speculating).

Upon further review, I'm going Bar/21*
