In Response To: Awkward 43 in awkward position (Jeremy Bagai)

I don't want to give up the 21 point - even to cover the outfield - so I'm playing from the inside. With white's ugly position we're likely to get several other shots even if we play the ugly 5/1, 4/1. But that looks too stripped and puts a checker out of play so some hit/switch play seems right. Making the 2 point looks smoothest. Maybe 5/1, 5/2* is better since 21 and 51 are then bad(ish) rolls. But I'll go for the smoother 6/2*, 5/2.
