In Response To: 4th roll position (Stick)

If ahead in the race, I might play 7(2). Here White gets so many options (e.g. anchoring or running) after that play. So I shift to fighting for my 5-point with 6/5*. Now there isn't a great four. 24/20 gives White too many juicy double hits, IMO. 13/9 and 11/7 similarly give White chances to enter with tempo. Then there's 6/2*. Not the favorite point to start but could work out, and it takes away tempo from White. If only one gets hit, Blue will have good sixes from the bar.

6/5*, 6/2.
