[stog]

ok elmicho rolled 5 2 last move so i made the forced play for him..

This is very close, a matter of technique. Usually you'd want to put your spares on the highest points in your board because it's safest during the bear-in and -off against an anchor, but here there's an additional complication with situations where el_micho is forced to run, and we'd like to attack him in the outfield by hanging back as far as possible, but also have maximum chances to point on the remaining checker. Still, the play putting the spares on the 6 and 5 points comes out best, but the first two moves are too close to call with this rollout.
