I have several reasons screaming at me to hit loose here
and I managed to ignore all of them. 1. My opponent only has one checker
back 2. I have the better board 3. I am behind in the race 4.
I could close my opponent out and go for a gammon 5. I really don't have
anything else constructive to do.
I thought I would try and get my
back checkers moving and let my prime contain my opponents checker. Truth is, a
4pt. prime is nice but it wont contain a checker on the edge of it for
long.
Keys to remember here: There are 5 reasons above
to go for the bold play. Any two of them combined should urge you to hit
in a similar situation, you can always get those back checkers moving once you
close your opponent out.
