2 distinct strategies here for us to choose; anchor on the 1 point, or come in on the 5 and hit his chequer on the 1; i have gone for the patient 1 anchor but would consider the hit too at this early point in the match, cutting his rolls in half, and being assertive -- seems fine , only danger is he rolls a double next roll  ;)

anchoring on 1 point has gotta to be a non starter..move up to 20 pt and then look for your 1....i would move up my builder to 10 pt so you can point on 4 pt if he moves up and also duplicate 3's i need to make 5pt....kind of premature to play 6-5....u want to save that for a bad one later.
