In Response To: Why waste a pip? (Martin)

Black needs 7 crossovers, so barring Black doubles or misses, White has only 3 rolls left after this roll for, depending on how White plays 8, 9 or 10 crossovers. You need either 1 working double or more than one to get your stuff in and out. Play 10/5 with either ace that crosses over get you there (and also, if only get 2 rolls to bear a checker off, you only have a chance if you take 2 crossovers now).
