The puzzle is where's the puzzle? The points to note are the gammon chance and to get your head into bear off mode. Your bad numbers are 3 , 2 and 1. Don't forget a double on these numbers can be a problem. Position the three obvious plays and check them out. If you are into roll odds this is not difficult even OTB. In that 5/2 4/1 leaves no dangerous rolls and enhances the gammon chances wins by a street. The other two plays can leave a blot and a ragged looking end .Oh well maybe a pathway. I have a ROT "keep your soldiers in front of the enemy" Under different circumstances this may have applied. It is sensible to be cautious when using ROT. Tip of the day, BG is all about roll odds not a lot of people seem to appreciate that. I must try to get to the party early so more can appreciate my simple wisdoms LOL sorry.
