In Response To: Play pretty or play ugly? (leobueno)

I guess I'd play 11/7(2) 6/2(2). The extra home-board point and the 3-prime should help inhibit Blue from running. I don't really like 11/7(2) 8/4(2) or 11/3(2). A final possibility is 8/4(2) 6/2(2) but that looks awful, putting 4 checkers behind the anchor and leaving us with a difficult 6-away point to clear. If Blue were on the verge of cracking then maybe I'd consider it but not here.
