Well, actually this position.

Good catch, Neil. Not surprisingly. But this is the original actual position that I modified to make the point about making the 4-point as a default in these situations. This is a response to the earlier 11 problem between making the 4-point or anchoring on the 20-point. In this, and in the original position, it seemed to me that making the bar point to block the opponent's back checkers was the temptation. I modified it from this position because the overstacked 6-point made the correct answer too obvious I figured. Of course, over the board I KNEW making the 4-point must be right and yet I still couldn't resist making the bar point to block. I am a weak-willed man.
