I had a lot of fun trying to come up with a perfectly played sequence for this position. The result has Blue's 54 as the 9th-roll, right at the edge of my abilities to discover retrograde sequences. The two difficulties were making sure the cube did not get turned and keeping Blue's front checkers from moving.
| Turn | Blue | White |
| 1 | 41S = Split = 24/23, 13/9 | 41K = Kill = 6/2*/1* |
| 2 | 54 = Enter = bar/21, bar/20 | 11P = Point = 6/5*/4*(2) |
| 3 | 5 = Enter = bar/20 | 44P = Point = 13/5*(2) |
| 4 | 21 = Enter = bar/24*, bar/23 | 32@ = Anchor = bar/22, 24/22 |
| 5 | 54 = ? | |
Along the way, I found at least eight positions where Blue wanted to play a 1 by slotting his 5pt. Here is a typical example:

I always find these "wild" slotting plays to be interesting. That's one of the benefits of trying to find well-played retro sequences. You get to see a lot of early game positions.
