Rollout

As I made my OtB play I said to Richard something along the lines of "either I'm making a good play or one hell of an overplay blunder". I couldn't decide which it was as I cleverly played 24/23 10/6.

Wrong on both counts, apparently.

There is some good stuff going for the 9 point. You may be able to split next turn and keep the 9 point, when you're in better shape, or you may have to give up the 9 point and split the turn after that, when you're not in much worse shape. 10/6 is restacking the 6 point with checkers that are going to have to go behind White's anchor. And the race is close, so it's a good idea to keep all game plans open.

With a 21, I think splitting is very clear, and 13/10 doesn't enter consideration.
