In Response To: Let's see if Nack's variant is the same as mine (Timothy Chow)

		White is Player 2 score: 0 pip: 124 Unlimited Game pip: 127 score: 0 Blue is Player 1
XGID=---BbBBBB-B--Ba-abbc-bbA--:0:0:1:31:0:0:0:0:10
Original Position: Blue to play 31

Tim's original position is above.

I can suggest a couple of variants:

		White is Player 2 score: 0 pip: 124 Unlimited Game Jacoby Beaver pip: 128 score: 0 Blue is Player 1
XGID=---BbBBBB-B--Ba-abbc-bb-A-:0:0:1:41:0:0:3:0:10
Variant 1: Blue to play 41

(Or you can put Blue's 24pt checker on the roof and make his roll 51.)

		White is Player 2 score: 0 pip: 126 Unlimited Game Jacoby Beaver pip: 127 score: 0 Blue is Player 1
XGID=---BbBBBB-B--Bb--bbc-bbA--:0:0:1:31:0:0:3:0:10
Variant 2: Blue to play 31

Or White can own her 10pt instead of her 11pt (adjusts two checkers instead of one but keeps the pipcount the same). Or, if you want a cusp (i.e, where Blue's decision is very close), give White her 9pt instead of her 11pt.
