Each side played twice

From the standard opening position, each side (legally) moved twice. How is this possible?

SOLUTION

Congratulations to Bob Koca, Michael Clapsadele, Casper, Joe Russell, Brian Lonergan and John O'Hagan, for solving the Lost Six-point Mystery!

Here is the sequence:

		White is Player 2 score: 0 pip: 167 Unlimited Game Jacoby Beaver pip: 164 score: 0 Blue is Player 1
XGID=-b--AAC-C---eE---c-e----B-:0:0:1:00:0:0:3:0:10
Blue played 21&

Blue wins the opening roll of 21 and uses it to double slot, as shown above. Then...

Blue played 21&, White replied with 33G

In response to Blue's 21&, White hit with the imaginative 33G (24/21* 13/7 6/3).

From here, visualize Blue playing 11T (sTack, bar/24 6/5(3)), and then White playing 66G (21/3 13/7), reaching the target position.

Alternatively...

Blue played 21&, White played 33E

With her same roll of 33, White can play 33E (3:1 Each, 24/21*/15 6/3), as shown above.

From here, visualize Blue playing 11T (sTack, bar/24 6/5(3)), and then White playing 66O (3:1 Outer, 15/3 13/7(2)), reaching the target/final position below.

Nack
