Fibsboard Forum Match 17 Game 2 Move 59 elmicho to move

[stog]

herd bounced and danced
5 2 for elmicho..

6/1, 2/off takes one off and leaves 11 returnshots, but will probably leave a shot in the next 2-3 rolls, whereas 6/4, 6/1 leaves 13 returnshot in the next roll, but will be more likely to bear of safe in the following rolls -
I'm far from sure which one to prefer - hmmmmmm?
Move: 6/4, 6/1

[stog]

we danced..

next move 5 1

[elmicho]

Once again a minor puzzle.
6/off obviously takes a checker off, but leaves an awkward position taht will most likely leave a shot next turn.
6/1, 4/3 will only leave a shot if I roll one of the 4 big doubles. With 2 points to enter in my homeland and the race on, I'm not that concerned about the possible hit on next roll. Most likely the herd will have entered and will be pining for their homeland. Worse case scenario will still only leave 11 shots. Clear choice:
6/off

[stog]

herd dances
elmicho 5 2

[elmicho]

same argumentation as the move before:
4/off, 2/off

[stog]

still the herd dances
elmicho 5 3

[elmicho]

4/off, 4/1

[stog]

well done! (note the herd's 66 and elmicho's 55 towards the end there!)
