Surprisingly (to me at least—apparently not to David Presser!), the computer says that Blue wants to get hit if White rolls a 6. The reason, I believe, is that Blue then gets slightly better chances of putting White on the bar, and also achieves a more flexible position, despite the seeming awkwardness of shoving two spares right against White's anchors.





White is Player 2
