I doubled before this roll, you took. Stick moves 13/10 11/10.

Stick moves bar/16. The only other option is bar/21 10/5 which adds another builder to try to roll my prime forward. I don't particularly care for it though, I'd rather have the outfield presence, threatening to hit your blot either directly if you can't safety it, indirectly if you do hit it and are forced to leave something in the outfield. I don't like stacking 3 on the 4 pt. either.

Stick moves 8/3* 7/3. Swinging around with 16/7 is too passive esp. since I've already turned the cube, your checker is threatening to escape, and I'm down in the race. Break that prime it's attack time!

Readers move bar/16. There's nothing else, you certainly can't sit on my 4 pt. and let me squash you.

Fight your first instinct on this play! First play I saw was safetying my checker, pushing it around 16/10 then slotting my 4 pt. While not a terrible play it takes all the pressure off your outfield blot. It will allow you to just hop over my two checkers on the 15 pt. and not actually get the checker to safety but relative safety. If I leave my outfield presence there then you must safety the checker or I get a direct. I'm down in the race and should seek contact. I can't slot points in order because the shot is coming now. Stick moves 8/2 6/2.
