In Response To: Fifth roll 41 (Rich Munitz)

The actual nactation would be: 64S-63X-11L-53@-41?

While 63Z is technically ok X is the 'hit and split' play and my preference.

11L could be 11T also but again, I have a preference to the 'lift' portion of nactation in this instance rather then the 'stack' 4 or more checkers on one point choice of 11T.

As for the play, the 4 is forced, 24/20. Your opponent has a good anchor and your back men aren't moving yet. You have the stronger board and need to get them moving. As a bonus, there's some small duplication of aces. After that, where's the most useful ace? I feel 6/5 is pushing checkers around for the sake of pushing spares out of place so I toss that out. With 4 checkers stacked on the 8pt I like putting that small bit of duplication to work too and activating those checkers as best I can. 24/20 8/7
