In Response To: Rollout (garyo)

I should point out that putting 2 on the roof now makes you a favorite to have 1 up next turn before you roll.

So I can't say I exactly understand what is going on here.

It may be that blue actually wants white to be moving here, as that may force white's checkers into the outfield which blue controls. And moving up both blue's outfield checkers, even by one pip greatly increases the number of rolls that get one checker home safely next roll.
