Position 26d, page 85
From The Backgammon Book, by Oswald Jacoby and John R. Crawford

White to play 6-4.

Use the full roll to run with one of your back men. Do not consider splitting the move and leaving one man on his bar point. As we explained at the beginning of this chapter, the last thing you want to do is to get into a blot-hitting contest when your opponent has two points made in his inner board and you have only one in yours.
