From The Backgammon Book, by Oswald Jacoby and John R. Crawford

White to play 5-2.

That man on your ten point spoils your normal play since if you put a blot on your eleven point it will be exposed to any 1, in addition to 6-4. The best you can do is to move a man from his twelve point to your eight point, and drop a man from your six point down to your four point.
