tempt your opponent to lose
I thought I should avoid
leaving a blot and wait for the shot that would surely come when my opponent
rolled a 6. This has a couple of flaws. I am not gaurranteed a shot next
time and I will likely have to leave a shot myself on the next roll.
Even if I do get a shot, I wont have a great board to keep them there.
This is a play I didnt think about until the analysis and I love it. By making
the 5 and 2 points and having a closed board I leave a shot on the 10pt.
I'm not even sure I would hit it with a blot in my board and all those
return shots.
Keys to remember: Carefully consider your
options (thats becoming a theme here) and in situations like these, think about
all the return shots when you are thinking of leaving a blot. If my
opponent's board was closed however, I wouldn't be volunteering the
shot
