| White to play 6-5. |
Move one back man from black one point to black twelve point. This move is so obvious that virtually no explanation is needed: you have gotten one of your back men halfway home safely, and are off to a strong running game.
In backgammon circles the move is sometimes called “lover’s leap.”
