It's one of the automatic moves. 13/8 24/23.  Best at all match scores and in money play.  No other play has positive equity. I'd he shocked if he played anything else.

At the matchscore, there's something to say for 13/8 6/5 as it will likely lead to a bit more gammons, but I'd still play 24/23 13/8 myself. Make it 5-away 2-away (or 4-away 3-away) and I'd go for 13/8 6/5.

"It's the action, not the fruit of the action that's important. You have to do the right thing. It may not be in your power, may not be in your time, that there'll be any fruit. But that does not mean you stop doing the right thing. You may never know what results come from your action. But if you do nothing, there will be no results." - Mahatma Gandhi

[factotum]

13-8, 24-23.

Is that Ghandi on backgammon, socks?
