Here everything points to 8/1, since getting hit is a total disaster. But even in more common situations, making the 4th home board point when you have so much wood in the zone is standard.






White is Player 2

score: 4
pip: 159
7 point match
pip: 130
score: 2

Blue is Player 1

Blue to play 61

eXtreme Gammon Version: 2.03

Here the hits don't matter so much, and the big consideration by far is preventing White from anchoring. Still, 8/1 creates 7 more fanning numbers and follows up more cleanly by making a 5pt board when White fails to anchor.
