In Response To: My Whopper: Tricky 53 (Paul Weaver)

I'm getting a little irritated at the super hard problems at BGO. I want to improve my success rate with these responses. Making the five is so natural in backgammon, but the Quiz Factor leads me to think that 8/3* 6/3 is best. I really want to take 1/2 of this guys roll away. He is very robust and ready to build his board. His pip lead could be difficult to combat if he escapes. I cannot leave too many blots with 8/5 8/3*. No, this guy is going to have to first come in before his many attacks or runs are available to him.
