In Response To: Daily Quiz 10/6 (Daily Quiz)

1. We're still behind in the race so I don't think that it's time to run off the anchor yet. However, I think we should keep some midpoint contact since White's midpoint is stripped. Because of White's home-board blots and our strong board, I don't think we need to worry about leaving a blot on the midpoint, so I'll try 13/9 7/1. I guess 7/1 6/2 is possible too but I slightly prefer 13/9 7/1.

2. Blue has only 9 checkers in the zone, with no extra home-board points made. The race is even and White has a checker safely tucked away on her 24pt. This must be an easy take. Blue's numbers are unusually well diversified: 4's and 6's hit, while 1's, 3's, and 5's cover. I would double since some hit-and-cover rolls probably lose our market and it doesn't seem that things can go too poorly for us.

3. In this sort of position, I think the 6-away point from White's anchor is the least desirable point to occupy, so I would start with 10/6. After that I'm less sure, but I would probably try 16/14 9/7. 16/14 makes it hard for White to hit that blot and cover at the same time (it also gives us some return shots if White rolls 42), and then 9/7 is the only reasonable 2 left.
