Rollout of Game 2, Position 8a
From Backgammon: the Cruelest Game, by Barclay Cooke and Jon Bradshaw

Black to play 6-2.

Black enters on white’s 2 point and starts his own 2 point with a man from his 8 point. He does not save the open man on white’s 12 point because suddenly he needs badly to delay; having made his own 1 point, he is far too advanced at this stage of the game.
