Is that such a good idea after we just took that cube? His prime looks a bit scary...

We can't sit passively by and let him extend any kind of positional advantage over us. If you're afraid to hit him when he has a 1 point board, perhaps you should play jacks or hopscotch instead.........starting the cube at 2, of course.

Enter and hit him on the 5 point.

Ok, since the master and his apprentice seem very certain here, I will break the deadlock and change my vote...on everyone else's heads be it  ;)

Fwiw, I agree with PL and NiHo, although I hate to admit it . Slotting both five points seems best. I'll roll it out when I get back from Utah.
