In Response To: That annoying 43 (Stick)

Regarding the 43, the reason why 2 down is wrong is that it is too committal.

You are up in the race with only 1 guy back. You don't want to leave a lot of shots that risk losing your advantage.

Your strategic goal is to run your last back checker to safety. If you start spreading blots around, you will have to clean up afterwards if you're lucky enough to be missed and thus you will have to wait another roll to run the back checker. In the meantime the opponent will strengthen his position making it even more difficult for you to run away.

I would not have played 2 down here as it is against my gameplan.
