You roll a 4-1 in this position:

		White is Player 2 score: 2 pip: 130 7 point match pip: 159 score: 3 Blue is Player 1
XGID=---b-BC-C-A-bC-cA--bbBb-b-:1:1:1:41:3:2:0:7:10
Blue to play 41

eXtreme Gammon Version: 2.10

You are initially annoyed that you can't do anything with the blot on the 16 point, but are happy to make the blocking 9 point. In fact, it is a great roll.

Your opponent rolls 3-2 and plays 10-5. You roll another 4-1, again annoyed by the frozen blot:

		White is Player 2 score: 2 pip: 125 7 point match pip: 154 score: 3 Blue is Player 1
XGID=---b-BC-CB--bB-bA--bcBb-b-:1:1:1:41:3:2:0:7:10
Blue to play 41

This roll is not so good. What do you play and why?
