Game 3, move 16: Forum 3-2

[diane]

Well, it is me rolling for real now, enjoy    There are more options, but they started to get really silly, if anyone is particularly in favour of one of the others, I will add it in.

Forum (blue) to move 3-2

The only two moves worth considering are 6/4 6/3 and 13/8.  The others just undermine our position.  (15/13 is not that bad a way to play the 2, but there's nothing to do with the 3. )

6/4 6/3 is safe, and keeps a four point board.  But it abandons our 6 point and crunches the board.

13/8 leaves a blot, but rkb has two juicy blots in his home board, and luring him off of the 5 pt is not such a bad thing. Plus, not all 3's play well - he probably won't hit the blot with 21 35 or 36.   With a big racing lead and a four point board, I say pay now rather than pay later.  It's our best chance to clear the midpoint.

13/8

We are blue as even the dice indicate.

With 2 blots in his home no need to play extra-ordinarily safe an kind'a crunch our board instead we should try to establish the desired landing spot in the outfield. So my move goes

13/8.

13-8  is pretty much a no brainer if you ask me.

I am sure I was the very model of understanding when it happened to him

I think I will next this, we don't have any disagreement on the voting, and unless 11 more people drop by between now and tomorrow with the same different opinion, the decision is made.

I am going to go out on a limb and assume mr books wont be wanting to recube us at this time..
