In Response To: A backgammon position (Stick)

Humm... "When in doubt, hit." but "When in doubt, make the 5 point." -- Here, hitting makes it less likey that opp will make a new hb point by taking away half his roll. Moreover, opp has only 1 checker that he needs to escape by hopping our 4-prime. I like hitting to send another checker back. We can build our prime later.
