Hmmm, I don't remember stacking the 6-pt that high.

The pure play is 13/9, 6/5. Or is it 6/5, 8/4? A couple things are leading me away from those: 1) White's homeboard, and 2) White's Too Many Points (TMP) condition.

Michi talks about the gravity principle -- basically a midpoint low on spares pulls checkers towards it. Here maybe the anti-gravity principle is appropriate -- an overloaded point pushes checkers off of it. (I've not heard Michi refer to that, but maybe that's next.) So 6/5, 6/2?

4(2).
