In Response To: Playing Backgame: Hit Or No Hit? (Paul Weaver)

Very instructive position from Paul - certainly for a non expert like me. I guess it would take a very time consuming rollout though, to verify the play. I played it against Snowie (you wonder why Weaver likes playing me?!) and, in the very first game, it soon threw up an interesting problem. I made the 19 point as suggested; Snowie gave itself a 1-1 (no bot cheating there), then I rolled 3-3. Do you now hit, or make the 5 point?

(Sorry if this isn't interesting to the top players.)
