This is a position from Robertie`s BG-book Advanced BG, Volume 2: Technical Play. This is one of those rare occasions where Robertie gives the correct solution. Best is to hit the blot and maximize the Backgammons

11/26/2017 6:26 AM, BGBex: why risk the sure win tho? a gammon is enough for me... i dont get it.. also why do you say.."This is one of those rare occasions where Robertie gives the correct solution." i thiought his books an advice were generally accepted?

9/26/2021 9:46 AM, Nommaz: You arent risking the win w 1 checker. Just the gammon. You can gain 4 extra points by only risking 2. I think you should take this risk w 25% chance but here you have >60%
