In Response To: a puzzle (Steve Mellen)

I suspect Phil probably meant to say 4 checkers on the ace point.

White to play 6-3

White	71
Blue	4
Position ID: DwAAwHt8RAAAAA Match ID: AQEPAAAAAAAA

Best play: 12/6 9/6.

Best play if you know your next roll is 4-1: doesn't matter, you're screwed.

Best play if your next roll is 4-1 and you're allowed to play it first: 9/5 12/11 followed by 11/5 3/off, or 9/5 2/1 followed by 12/6 3/off, saving the gammon.
