In Response To: Neil v. Stick Novi Finals (Game 8) #35 (Stick)

I'd go for 4/1* here. Splitting the back men looks blunderful. That leaves slotting, 13/10, 4/1*. There's some appeal to slotting since White is behind in the race, but he's also outboarded, and getting hit would hurt. 13/10 is reasonable, but it strips the mid and leaves White with a somewhat awkward position. 4/1* puts the checker on the 4 point into play, starts a semi-blitz, and keeps White from improving his board this roll.
