In Response To: Backgame position 7 (Ian Shaw)

I'm torn between doing the obvious blocking of double sixes 19/18 and trying to activate my dilly builder on the 4 pt. playing 4/3. Normally in these positions when you have so much coverage you worry about the miracle shots. You can't block double 5s so you should most likely block double sixes. You hope to gradually & every so carefully build a prime somewhere and roll it home having to hit shot after shot after shot. It's a lot of work but if you have the patience to figure out the inbetween plays it can be done! You also need to look for things like breaking the 22 pt. and giving White bad aces to play asap.
