E) 55.... 1-Point 3-Point, Take

D) 64.... 24/24*, Take

C) 42.... 4-Point, Take

B) 53.... Drop The 3-Ponit is not my goal in DMP. Think I would play 13/8 24/21 (Drop anyway) and hope that my opponent is surprised and I can get a favourable position later

A) 65.... 24/13, Take

If you give me 21 in the opening roll I am not that happy. I know that I won the opening challenge with a roll which is on the bottom of the rolls to become a game favourite, fine. Now you start with that 21 and I got one of the best numbers (65). Back to the basics of Backgammon, I run. My first goal is matched, one checker is in half way to the safety ground and I find myself in an easy and appreciated position, a position where it is likely to not make that many mistakes later on and I have an easy goal: just bring home the 2nd man.

So its a Take for me.

A Drop looks too destructive and violating to the basic concept in BG :) I rather would play something like 1* 2* or Slotting my or the opponents bar point if I concider to Drop anyway
