| White to play 6-6. |
Black has rolled 6-1 and made his bar point. This makes it impossible for you to move a 6 with one of your back men, so you cannot play double 6 or 6-5 the way you would if he had not made that bar point. Instead of being good rolls, they both become unsatisfactory.
Move four men from black twelve point to your bar point. This leaves a blot but is the best you can do.
