In Response To: Bearing off (Dmitriy Obukhov)

Given the state of brown's board, could ripping 2 be right?

4/3, 4/1 is also a playable alternative. It looks fairly safe but fails to bear off any checkers.

4/0 is also worth some thought since it is safe for now and bears off a checker. Next roll you are likely to blot, but by then you rate to have borne off 7 checkers and white will still not have a lethal board.

I'll rip 2.
