The only way I might play P (Point, 11/7 8/7) in the position above is if the score is GG (or GG-ish). For money, @ (anchor, 24/20 21/20) looks clear to me.

I'm pretty sure, though, that the decision is closer here (32S-54H-42P-F-41) -- maybe @ over P by .04? -- than in the more commonly arising third roll reference positions 32S-53P-41 and 32S-65R-41 (not shown), where P is a whopper or near-whopper.

How does it affect the play when one of White's 6pt checkers is also sent back, as in the left-hand position below? Even more confounding, how you do you play 41 in the right-hand position?

197 32S-54H-42P-21H-31H-F-41 160

194 32S-54H-42P-42E-31H-F-41 160

By the way, with a roll of 63, it is a "wipeout" (massively correct) to play P (Point, 8/5 6/5) rather than @ (anchor, 24/18 24/18), in all three positions.
