B/23 6/5(2). This is a really good roll for us, we get to make our 5 point and our 3 back men are spit up making it likely that we'll make an anchor next roll. Our back men aren't in much danger of being attacked because all of giles' builders are on his 6point.

Enter with the first ace, make the 5 point with the next two aces, then look around for where to play the fourth.   Hmmmmmm..... looks like 24/23 is our best bet - maximize our chances of making an anchor by spreading the runners around.

My thoughts too, and nice to have you playing with us Krazula

We don't need to MAXIMIZE OUR CHANCES OF MAKING AN ANCHOR by spreading our checkers out, we make an anchor simply by entering. At this early stage I prefer slotting our bar point in an effort to contain his remaining back checker.

Not much harm if he hits us and we can use that checker to possibly make a second, better anchor in his board.
