Annotation
Alex Zamanian: Playing 8/7* 6/1* strips the 8 and buries a checker on the ace point for the benefit of putting two up on the roof and minimizing return shots. It's a close call, but rollouts show 13/7* to be better.

Annotation
Alex Zamanian: Playing B/21 13/11 leaves White a little too exposed. Red will likely be attacking the checker on the 21 point, and the blots in White's outfield will be targets as opposed to builders. It makes more sense to tread a little lighter with B/23 13/9. White is less likely to be attacked and will have better chances to use the checkers in his outfield as builders.

Annotation
Alex Zamanian: Both 24/14* and 13/7 8/4* do two good things: 24/14* escapes a back checker and hits White on his side of the board, and 13/7 8/4* locks up the bar point and hits White loose. Both also leave a similar number of shots, so it's not surprising the plays are close.

Annotation
Alex Zamanian: Locking up the 20 point anchor with 23/20 21/20 guarantees White something resembling an even game. Things are less clear after 13/10 11/10, but Red may get to attack White giving him a nice advantage. White should take the bird in the hand and play 23/20 21/20.

Annotation
Alex Zamanian: Playing B/22 6/2* is ugly but there are two reasons to play it. The alternative, B/22 10/6 leaves a worse distribution of builders and allows Red his whole roll to attack. Also, Red is particularly keen to attack in this position, since he has a big stack of checkers on his 6 point, and would love the opportunity to unload that stack of checkers onto White's blots.

Annotation
Alex Zamanian: Red can attack with 13/7 6/3*, but it costs him his midpoint, and leaves several blots. It is the thematic play though, with Red having the stronger board and a big stack of checkers on his 6 point. I prefer it to the Red's choice of 23/14 which leaves a bunch of shots anyhow.

Bots: Snowie evaluated 13/4 as a 0.050 mistake, though also preferring 13/7 6/3*.

Annotation
Alex Zamanian: White's play of 17/6 leaves more shots than 13/7* 13/8, and is worse if White gets hit, as White would like to have the 17 point anchor as a landing spot for the hit checker.

It's not clear which play is better if White gets missed. 17/6 clears that back point, but White may not be able to get that last checker to safety, and has a lot of work left to do in any event. 13/7* 13/8 steals 7 pips in the race and is easier to clean up after at the cost of leaving the rearmost point stranded.

Since 13/7* 13/8 is better after a hit, and may be better after a miss, and leaves fewer shots, it must be the right play.

Annotation
Alex Zamanian: Red is down 19 pips in a 100 pip race which would indicate a good sized pass on the pip count alone. Red has some chances to get a shot, but how many? White has plenty of time to roll a good number to clear the 10 point since he has a multitude of spares on the 8 and 6 points. He may also leave a shot when trying to clear the 8 point but will probably have many chances to clear safely. Since White has so much time to clear his outfield points, it doesn't look like Red will hit enough to take when he's this far down in the race.

Bots: Snowie says this is a borderline Double/Take and that the pass is a 0.356 blunder, whereas GNU thought passing was only a 0.143 blunder.
