If you count up all the rolls that either complete a six-prime or advance a five-prime down to the 4, 3 or 2 points (assuming White fans), 6/3 doesn't do too badly at all in comparison to the better plays.

But if you play 10/4* 6/3 and White enters with a 4, NOW that checker is out of play. Well, yeah. Perhaps when Matt wrote So moving the extra checker on the 6 point to White's inner board constitutes an improvement for Blue, because he'll have better containment, he meant because of the outfield coverage from the 12 point, not because of the blot on the 3 point. That's not helping. And being the only play that gives White a chance to hit two checkers with (3-1 and 1-1) doesn't help, either.
