The correct play now is to move both men from your bar point to your 2 and 1 points. Although your position is identical to that in Position 64, the overall position is vastly different. Since Black must break either his board, his block on your 12 point, or your 5 point on his next roll, it would be poor judgement to expose a man unnecessarily. Delay in this position should be advantageous to you.
