White is Player 2

score: 0
pip: 88
17 point match
pip: 116
score: 5

Blue is Player 1
XGID=-bCDB-BB---Aa-----accbb-aA:0:0:-1:22:0:5:0:17:10
Blue to play 22

The numbers that matter the most are White’s entering numbers.

If Blue makes the 1pt, and then White rolls 2, Blue will be under pressure to respond immediately with a roll that hits.

If Blue makes his bar point instead, and White rolls a 2, Blue will be better off because White will be facing a 5-point block. And if White rolls a 1 and hits, Blue may find that White’s block crumbles while Blue either dances or else enters and escapes.

After covering the 7pt, Blue should play the final 2 down to the 3pt, so that he does not duplicate the 4 that he needs on the other side of the board.
