In Response To: Here is one that isn't trivial (Kevin Finch)

Below is a position that I posted to rec.games.backgammon back in 2013 with the subject line, "it makes more difference than you think." Stick wrongly assumed that I had blundered with 9/6. Even back then, I knew enough not to play 9/6, but I still managed to blunder.
