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

White to play 6-1.

You have an automatic split situation with the 1. Split those two back men (move one to the two point), and black will almost surely have to give you a double shot. He will even have to leave three blots if he rolls 3-2.
