I debated between bar/5* and bar/20 8/3* 6/1, the third and fourth best moves. I made my play because I thought it unstacked the eight and six and I was shooting at three blots without committing too much by making the ace. Maybe if I got my brain wiped I could get away from those 70's backgammon books.
The score (after 0 games) is: Gnu 3, Ken 0 (match to 7 points)
Move number 3: Ken to play 55
