In Response To: Backgammon Position (Stick)

You require assets in this position. Blots on the 24 and 21 are not assets. Rather than playing 20/18 (which was my instinctive choice), I am now leaning towards 6/4. I want to get a checker hit here, and I want to make one of the back points before they get pointed off. I think 20/18 just adds too many double hitting numbers.

So, 6/4 for me. Its a little wild, a little crazy, and probably a 0.5 error, but I'll go with that!
