During the course of analyzing my errors from a recent match I realized that one of my issues was knowing when to hit loose in my home board and when to pass up the hit for another play. I started varying one of the positions I had played wrong and eventually ended up with the following two positions. I am really interested in the "whys" of choosing the best play in each of these related positions.

Position 1

	is Player 2 score: 0 pip: 145 15 point match pip: 154 score: 0 is Player 1
XGID=-a-a-BD-C--BcB---d-bb-b-B-:0:0:1:32:0:0:0:15:0
to play 32
