In Response To: Interesting prime v prime position (Bill Calton)

When playing for real (OtB) I try not to make an imaginative play unless it jumps out at me with the "slap in the face" factor. (I don't follow that rule in OLM's. :)

I don't know if I would have even found this play OtB, but if so I think I would have made it. It certainly qualifies. 25/36 rolls the opponents break and 11/36 you're on the bar (hopefully to stay for a while) while he has two checkers back from the edge of your (dormant) 5-prime. If he breaks you'll have escaping 6's and many other rolls that attack (PoH) while you wait for your 6's.

(QF also says this is best.)
