Why must I hit?

White has eleven in the zone and is poised to prime three checkers. At that point, all you will be able to do is sit on the ace point and wait patiently to lose.

A tempo hit takes away half of her roll and may forestall the prime long enough to make something happen for you, such as making an advanced anchor (3s and 4s)or your own five or four point (1s and 2s).

Trice described these situations as an avalanche about to fall on your head - a tempo hit to prevent the avalanche is necessary.
