ah well,
i started answering these when these series started, then i kind of forgot about it. I just read all the old ones i missed. and i guess i will partake again
.
the problems seem to have become a lot more interesting.
this board keeps improving. sheets back to backgammon, and i also seen exworldchamp Hallberg on this forum.
ah the problem, i haven;t really thought hard about he problem yet.
but here are my first instincts.
I immediately think that bar/24 must be wrong. it doesn't help excaping the checker at all, and it is not safe anyway, as you have to leave a shot with 9/4 after that, which not only leaves a shoit, but also creates some kind of semi-dead-checker. and from there on, if you don't roll something perfect like 2-6 4-4 4-5 or 4-6 (assuming on some of these rolls white didn't make his 9point) you cannot escape and your forward postion will criple.
so that leaves only bar/20
now how to play the 1?
4/3 leaves least shots but i don't like messing up my homeboard so that goes out the door
7/6 leaves a double shot and 9/8 leaves a double shot
but 9/8 duplicates 4's and 3's , the same numbers white would also like to hit my blot on the 20 point.
so i am pretty sure it is :
bar/20 9/8
