Playing 6/1(2) is more important with five checkers on the 6 point than with four checkers.

This is part of the story, but I've been playing with a number of other variants and it's confirming my belief that this is a subtle position where tactics are important and not just strategic principles. I may post again when I've done more rollouts.
