In Response To: A familiar problem? (David Levy)

White is Player 2 score: 3 pip: 131 7 point match pip: 92 score: 0 Blue is Player 1 XGID=-BcBBBBBB--------c-bbbbaA-:1:-1:1:11:0:3:0:7:10 Blue to play 11 I did not check the sources, but here is my thinking. First of all, the decision to hit is easy. Any notion that Blue can “outtime” White, and wait for him to crash, is foolhardy. Besides, hitting now means winning more gammons later. After that, Blue should lift the 7pt, so that he does not have to play a 6 while he is waiting to roll a 5. Mike
