In Response To: Nickels to play (Timothy Chow)

Could be that I think differently from most others, but my first instinct here was to play "15 against 1" to contain White's checker. Then I saw that I could make my 3pt. I had trouble making up my mind but eventually decided on the 3pt, on the grounds that it would make my hits more potent, it blocked some immediate escaping rolls, and the 3pt would be hard to make naturally later on whereas I should still have other opportunities to leap into the outfield.

My opponent rolled 65, I failed to hit, and lost the game uneventfully.
