In a perfect world I would have just danced until my
opponents board crashed and then brought the win home from there but you
have to do the best with what you have. I have a few objectives here. Make
the 3pt., unstack the heavy 6pt., hold my prime as long as I
can so i can contain white until their board crashes. The best way to use my 3
is to put it where it belongs, on the 3pt.. By stacking another checker
on the 6pt. I make it harder to preserve my timing and I make any six (besides
a 6-3) a bad number on my next turn. You have to look ahead a bit and
try to make sure all of your numbers play comfortably on the next turn. If my
opponent rolls a 2 it is bad anyway so getting that checker sent back may
actually work for me later on.
Keys to Remember: Look ahead
and try to make all your rolls work for you. There always comes a time
where stacking does you no good and it is better to just put the checkers
where they belong. In timing battles work to save or kill numbers to
preserve timing.
