1/ What's the best way to win this game ? - prime ? no, he's sitting on our bar point - race ? possible since we are 35 pips up after our play. but no plays look good - hitting game ? yes, since white has a poor position, a lot of his rolls don't play well and we'll certainly have a shot in the next turn.
So I would play 8/3(2) 6/1(2) to have the stronger board now and take a big tactical advantage in the blot hitting contest.
2/ We have both strategical and tactical advantage (no runner, race, better board) So I think we will clear the midpoint and the very next exchange event at the cost of a triple shot if we can make the four point board in the process. If we hit with a return shot, he can stay on the bar and we loose our market, if we succed in clearing the midpoint without being hit, we loose our market so I double this one. For the take, I'm little afraid with the gammon loss and I think I would pass. With the 5 point already made, I would take.
3/ A lot of Magriel's criterias call for a bold play and I see two themes in this position : - unstack the mid point - attack one back man not prime him.
What are the candidates ? - 13/11 8/4 6/4: we are making a 3 point board, but the midpoint is still overstacked and I don't feel white under pressure since he has two good numbers to escape. - 7/3* 11/9 : 19/36 returns, no more points made. to much for nothing. - 5/3*(2) 13/9: only 8 return shots. A good diversification of builders, not that bad. We just commit ourselves in a blitzing game. - 13/7 13/11 We make a point, but in a priming game, it's not a big problem for white since he remains at the edge of the prime. - 13/9(2), we make the poitn 6 point away and he's not at the edge anymore, if he doesn't roll a 4, he will be behind a 5 prime. And no really good 6 except 61 (and we still have a chance to get him back).
So my choices is between 13/9 5/3*(2) and 13/9(2). Because of the commitment, I would choose 13/9(2), and also because has white, I hate this play, i can feel a big pressure.
