In Response To: two checkers containment (aoleg1)

(1) I'd have slotted the 5 point 10/5, as it seems Blue did in the actual game.

(2) I think I'd not have played 2/1* to recirculate the but perhaps 14/13 18/15. With the 2 point made, Blue is only 1 point away from making a 5 prime.

(3) With outfield checkers on 18, 14 and 10, Blue can't diversify much with this 4-1, but 14/13 10/6 seems ok. I would not have made the acepoint as it seems Blue did; I'd rather still have 15 active checkers attacking White's 2.

(4) 12/10*, certainly, not 5/3*, and with that 14/8 would seem to give the most numbers with which to strike at the 3 point next turn.

(5) All-out attack with 12/8 10/9 might work, but I think I'd play 14/9 for plenty of attackers and fewer bizarre joker sequences.
