I only see five checkers worth moving with this great roll: one on the 22-point, two on the 13-point, two one the 8-point. (I guess the only other checker that can legally move is on our 9-point.)

Although 22/10 combined with either the 2-point(OH) or the 7-point looks OK, why not make the 4th and 5th points of the full prime, putting Stick on the bar, and blocking the hell out of his anchor?

I have too much respect for Stick's game (notice I didn't generalize as simply "too much respect for Stick" for a good reason) to call this a 'Next', but I don't think I would have thought too long OtB about the alternatives. So let's hear what he was thinking making this a problem of the day. Presumably it's the timing issue of not having enough checkers to play with, maybe getting stuck in his board or having to crunch before getting our back three around. If that's it, I just think we get too many Bricks in the Wall with my choice that it's worth the risk.

Summary: 13/7(2), 8/2*(2).
