What's the best move?

In Response To: What's the best move? (NJ)

I'd play 6/0 6/2*, for two reasons: 1) Wins, and 2) Gammons.

If White rolls a 2, Blue would rather be hit and have to bring his checker around again (while hitting White off the 2pt repeatedly if he has to) than to have White make his 2pt. If White makes the 2pt, he can sit there and wait for Blue to leave a shot (If I recall, Blue does so about 70% of the time) while building his board for containment. It's much safer to just hit White and close him out and be done with it. I'd make this play at DMP. The gammons extra gammons are nice, big bonus.
