Position 70a, page 152
From The Backgammon Book, by Oswald Jacoby and John R. Crawford

White to play 6-5.

We aren’t far enough behind to warrant any play except to bring our back man to safety at the black twelve point. We would do this, and we would probably be in an ordinary middle game from then on.
