In Response To: Break prime to hit? (Kevin Whyte)

If you keep your prime, your opponent's checker on your ace point can't escape except with a 1 followed by a 6. Breaking your prime makes it easier for him to escape. Since he's ahead in the race, anything that makes it easier for your opponent to escape is to be avoided. The fact that it's DMP makes the decision even easier; priming is usually better than attacking at DMP.
