In Response To: New Lesson of the Week (Phil Simborg)

Very good problem. I might have made the 20 pt OTB, but can see the advantage of the other plays. I am surprised, however, that Bar-16 is not best. There are not that many numbers that break contact for white without leaving a shot. It prevents white from making an inner board point on many plays. A checker on the 20 or 21 point is frequently pointed on and may ultimately have trouble escaping.
