Doing the right thing at the right time with the right checkers...

Here stepping up with both seems to give blue too many good rolls - either point on one or hit two with 24 out of 36 and most of the "misses" are pretty good too. Stepping up with one - maybe to the 22 to duplicate sixes (but a worse point) could be right as others have mentioned. I had a similar position in a doubles match and my partner talked me out of stepping up with two - where it would have been a blunder. True, in my position I had some other constructive things to do with the 32 and my board wasnt quite as good as whites in the current position but now I'm less inclined to step up with both. 7 pt match, white leads 4-0, center cube; white to play 32. Blue 24(2),13(2),8(2), 7(3),6(4),5(2) White 24(2), 13(4), 8(1), 7(2), 6(4), 3(2)
