| White to play 6-5. |
Black has started with 6-3, and has moved one man from your one point to your bar point and one from your twelve point to his ten point.
Your 6-5 becomes a very strong roll, so valuable that you do not play the normal opening move for 6-5. You should use the 6 to hit his man on your bar point with one of your men on his twelve point, and use the 5 to hit his man on your one point with one of yours on your six point. This leaves him with two men on the bar (and, in a gambling game, with a potential quick loss).
