In Response To: Crawford Backgame (Ian Dunstan)

Timing is rotten, that's for sure. That makes me want to move 23/22 to be able to hop out next roll or two, then 8/4 with the 4.

On the other hand 24/23 moving to a 3/2 backgame might be the way to go. I really want to leave the checkers on the midpoint alone.

Maybe kamikaze is best here. I think I might play 8/7* 3 for a kamikaze.

I don't know what's right but I do know that you need much better timing and I'm interested in what the experts have to say.

I'm thinking that in the long run making the 23 point is right so my move is 24/23 8/4 but I'm really not confident.
