I would reply to more of these but I think I've read Boot Camp one too many times. I remember the answers so far so it's kind of cheating. Here the dmp play should be to take the 23pt anchor, exerting pressure against the 8pt making for a harder bear in and then using the other two aces efficiently on the other side of the board to make the 5 prime.

Unfortunately, that play should also clearly lose more gammons than blindly coming up to the edge of the prime with 22(2). If we were to come up to the edge we clearly have a bad game with such a racing deficit and the opponent having good spares and all the points made in front of us that need be. It would be a pass if the cube were centered.

I'll stick with the dmp play because I don't know any better. I have these rollouts somewhere btw if you want me to save you some time.

23(2) 8(2)
