Both players have made bar point with 61 roll, and now here are four different rolls to play:

is Player 2 score: 0 pip: 160

Money session Jacoby Beaver

pip: 160 score: 0 is Player 1

XGID=-b----EBB---dD---bbe----B-:0:0:1:00:0:0:3:0:10

to play: (a) 51, (b) 32, (c) 54, (d) 64

eXtreme Gammon Version: 1.14

In all four positions:
a) 51
b) 32
c) 54
d) 64

splitting back checkers is one of candidate plays, but is it the best one? Is the best for all positions, just for some, or none?

What would you play and why?
Why is (not) splitting better than other candidate plays?
