In Response To: Daily Quiz 5/31 - Bitchfest (Stick)

1) Post Crawford is a mandatory double (well, there's "the trick" but that only applies at 3-away) , so the double is clear. As for the take, White has a free drop so we just have to ascertain whether Blue is > 50% GWC. 64P-43D-C seems like Blue is ahead, even if just by a hair. So D/P, although I doubt taking is a very big error.

2) 52S-52? I like to split early since the decision of when to get the backmen moving gets harder with every roll. I'd rather make a small error now than a much bigger one later on. So, I split here. 24/22 13/8. Moreover, I think splitting should be correct since White has split her runners making it more perilous for builders.

3) Huge D/P according to the Trice count. But since Blue has some wastage, you probably need a better number than the raw Trice count. Using the Keith Count (which I had to look up - yes I'm cheating here (C: ) I get 45-42 which is just enough to redouble and a bare take. I'll say redouble/pass due to White leading in the match, but I'm not sure. R/P

4) Position, race, threats. Check check check. D/P

5) A gammon gets me to Crawford, so aggressive play seems appropriate. Hit 'em both 8/7* 6/1* At DMP or GS I'd split.
