In Response To: Export to the QF Library? (Timothy Chow)

I like 13/11 10/9. Although it does give 9 shots there will be a plenty of returns which will somehow reduce the damage of being hit. In addition after 13/11 10/9 blue will be able to play perfectly all rolls (excluding big doubles) with high numbers (4-5-6) which otherwise could be played badly, especially with 2 checkers primed back. What this play does not do however, is that although it takes a reasonable risk, it does not guarantee us the win after not being hit. We will have a significant timing advantage (after not being hit) and possibly have a 5 prime but nothing is over.

What could be helful is mobilize our back checkers, which does look risky but given that we have a better board, and white has only a 2 points board may not be that risky. In aadition there is some dublication with 1s and 2s given that he would also like to mobilize his back checkers with those numbers (if he cannot make a point inside). I suppose that both 23/21,13/12 and 23/12,12/11 are equal, apart from that 12/11 is a bit more risky (gives 2 shots compared to one shot - 66 of 13/12)

If the race deficit was a bit larger for blue, then 13/11 10/9 would be clear for me. Now it is difficult to say what is best.
