Lots of moves leading up to today's vote

It is much more important for me to gain some timing and control the outfield a bit with the 6 than to slot my five point. I have a decent 3 pt. board already, it is enough to give you some difficulties if I get my shot. Stick moves 23/17 8/3

Lousy double 1s for you. After the forced 7/6(2) 6/5 the best distribution is 4/3 and not 6/5. You're not preparing to clear points yet, you still need some flexibility. Blue moves 7/6(2) 6/5 4/3

I'd rather have my good rolls come at the end of the game than the beginning =) Stick moves 8/5 6/5

Another dud for the Readers. With my board as strong as it is now you'll just have to wait for a better roll to run with. The obvious play, 6/5 3/1

Any play is fine here, from 11/5 11/10 to 11/5 17/16 yada yada yada. I just pushed my guy around the board leaving everything on different points starting to think about not wasting pips for saving the gammon. Stick moves 17/10

Now you do want to clear from the rear. There's no sense in making the ace point, you won't be attacking here anytime soon, it wastes some of your gammons and fails to clear that back point. (most likely costing you some wins too). Readers move 7/5(2) 6/4(2)

I'm keeping my checkers diversified in hope of better days. Stick moves 11/9 10/7
