In Response To: Double 5's! Now if I just knew how to play them... (Timothy Chow)

My first impulse was to leave the blot on the 21pt. If it were left there, I would want to play 11/6 to save the outside blot. Then, I like 13/3 8/3 better than making the 1pt. So that is one candidate.

Instead, I decided to make the 11pt by moving 21/11. After that, making the 3pt seems better than anything else.

Although Black will be ahead in the race, White will be thinking about ways to save his blot. Hopefully, that will reduce his ability to begin priming Black’s last runner. Depending on the dice, Black may be able to advance his runner next turn in order to put pressure on White’s outer board.
