In Response To: Tough backgame checkerplay? (Chuck Bower)

I am with the 24/18 8/3 crowd. Even though White trails by 61 pips before this play, he is badly out-timed. I like staying on the bar point in order to provoke contact. It is not too soon to start the hitting. Even better might be to make the bar point, and covert this to a holding game. 8/3 for the remaining 5.
