Community Comments

Neil Kazaross:

“I make the 5 pt since it is constructive and there is no safe play.”

Alec Rome:

“I think this might be one of those weird scenarios where you do 7/5 and 6/5. It's the most and maybe only productive thing you can do with that roll. Risk a blot to potentially make a 4 prime next roll or develop a blitz against the last checker for blue”

Tsvetelin Tsvetkov:

“I would play safety here - 8/6, 2/1”
