It is a match situation and
white is 3-away from match, and black is 2-away from match.
White has a 5-4 to play.
I’ll make it easier for you—there are only 4 plays that make good sense,
so pick one of them:
1) Make your 3 point, which gives you a point in your inner board and hits
a checker
2) Make your opponent’s 5 point and hit loose off the 3 point
3) Make your opponent’s 5 point and hit loose off the 1 point
4) Run the checker from your opponent’s 5 point all the way to your 11
point
Your answer: ___________
The tie breaker question is this:
If you make the right play, and you get really lucky and black roll’s 6-6
and dances, now white is on roll, and what is the proper cube action?
