In Response To: Random 41 (Stick)

I want to escape the back checker so bar/20 looks like the natural choice, but bar/21 6/5 is also a possibility. The race is even so we don't have to play super-safe. There's probably going to be some trading of hits anyway, and having the 5-point will obviously be an asset in that case. Black's 2's are duped and he has a blot in his own table. Slotting is usually a strong play when the opponent has already escaped one back checker. I'm going to go with bar/21 6/5.
