White to play 6-1.

Not much of a roll, for once. We would move the blot from your nine to your three point, and a man from your six to your five point. Alternative plays of moving a man from the black five point to the black twelve point as the complete roll, or of moving to the black eleven point with the 6 and moving the man on your nine point to safety with the 1, both weaken your game.
