In Response To: Backgame play decision (Ian Dunstan)

I like your play. I can't see enough timing for a 1-2-3 game, so I will definitely work on releasing 1 or two back men. Another option is 24/23 8/5 which aims for the better 2-3 game, and leaves 1's and 2's to get to the edge of the prime. However, as I think getting to the prime is more important, putting a checker there right away seems best, and then I often may transfer to a 2-3 back game on the next ace.
