In Response To: 61 to play (Stick)

Racing is the natural play here. The alternatives are making the bar and hitting. I don't think that making the bar accomplishes much. It makes it marginally harder for White's rear checker to escape, but escaping the back checker is surely more urgent a task for Blue.

I can't believe that hitting would be right for money, so if it's right here it must be because of the 5a/3a score. Hitting might lead to more gammons but I'm still going to go with running.

22/15.
