Huge for making the 234 backgame which isn't all that hard to time for a while and can really force the opp to missplace checkers with the wrong large rolls. Once time lstarts to look shaky, often the 4 anchor can be abandonned.

I will spend an hour or so doing a 3 ply RO of the weaker 3 plays just to see if any gain a lot and if one becomes a contender I will post and put it thru 4 ply. This is what XG 4 ply eval has to say and note that it doesn't seem "out to lunch" here.
