In Response To: 41 against backgame (Karl Frogner)

I think it is nearly impossible to crush white's timing in this position. One could try so with either 13/9 8/7, hoping to build a six-prime, or with 6/1, trying to recirculate checkers. But I don't think the chances to make her crunch are very good.

So I'd just hit with 23/19* 6/5 and not let her make the one-point. And then I wouldn't make the bar point or try any priming, but just try to get the checkers around and into the home board asap.
