In Response To: The second 4-1 (David Levy)

I keep the anchor since I'm 30 pips behind and my opponent has a double shot at my blot on the 16.

8/4 6/5 slots a valuable homeboard point and dupes aces to hit. 13/9 6/5 also dupes aces but doesn't slot anything useful and doesn't force white to break anchor to hit, so I like 8/4 better.

Clearing the nine seems like a chicken play. As does 6/1.

8/4 6/5 for me.

I'm trying to figure out if score matters, but coming up short.
