2 checkers on the ace pt. dont belong to the game, 1 blot may be hit and we can recirculate it to use efficiently, am I wrong?

Did you see Chuck's comment? http://www.bgonline.org/forums/webbbs_config.pl?noframes;read=119895

Sure, try to avoid playing checkers deep -- usually. And recirculate out-of-play checkers -- sometimes. But as both Chuck and Stick have pointed out, once you've been forced to put one checker on the acepoint, it's often best to go ahead and make the point. Especially when the developing position invites an exchange of hits.

In other words, a checker on the ace point is often out of play. One way to bring it back into play is to allow it to be hit. Another way is to complete the point. The second way is often right.
