In Response To: Breaking the Midpoint - 3 problems (Stick)

1) There is no reason to break midpoint here. There is reasonable alternative with making 2pt. In addition blue need that midpoint as landing place for his back checkers and for putting pressure on white's blot. With racing lead I don't like to leave one checker on midpoint. Four point board could be useful.

8/2 6/2

2) Again I made 2pt, even think clearing midpoint could be lower error here bcuz white has no more blot in our outfield and he has lot's of spares on his midpoint to play with so we have to clear mid sooner or later. But making 2pt is fine and we still have two back checker which need midpoint as landing point to come home.

8/2 6/2

3) Yep, now I see these examples are for learning purpose lol, not as problems but I already gave my 5s so wil continue with last one. Here we again can't run with back checker and still need midpoint. We can't make 2pt bcuz there is no spare on 6pt anymore but 8/2 is must to get some flexibility.

8/2 8/4 despite third checker on 4pt which is not such bad at all. Could be used to cover 2pr or to make acept.
