In Response To: Use your brain only, pls (Chuck Bower)

Since nobody else likes it so far, it's probably one of my too-big blunders, but OTB I would play 13/7. His 5s are decent anyway, but if he rolls one after this slot, at least a few of them give me a shot back at him. Even if he rolls 52 or 53, it's not too awful since I might get back on the 20 point and have more ways to whack him as he comes around. His 65, 55, and 54 all leave return shots. If he rolls 51, well that is pretty bad.

On the upside, if missed I could roll a 1 and have a six prime, which would let me chase second checkers either now or later on depending on what's going on. If missed with a loose 6, I might get the second checker right now same as with any other play, and also be better set up to complete the prime or the closeout than I would be with one fewer checkers in range.
