In Response To: Bearing off against a nearly-busted backgame (David Levy)

I still don't understand the best play. I didn't consider it over the board for more than a brief moment.

I also don't understand this to be the sort of containment play that will cause XG problems. There's no issue of rolling home a distant prime which is where I've seen XG falter in containment plays.

		White is Player 2 score: 0 pip: 152 7 point match Crawford pip: 46 score: 6 Blue is Player 1
