In Response To: Falafel Position (Stick)

In this position, White has Blue out-boarded and "out-timed." I'm not sure I want to offer a triple shot after making the outside 5-prime (15/9, 23/18). If White hits, I'll need to respond immediately, otherwise, depending on the circumstance, White will face the pleasant decision whether to cash or play for the gammon. Attacking also seems a bit risky. After making the two point, Blue will have four blots vulnerable to a 12 shots from White (11, 44, 13, 14, 16, 34, and 45). After a hit and a dance, White won't have to choose. He'll be playing for the gammon. That leaves 15/9, 6/1. Anemic as it seems, that's my move. Mike
