Make Them Work

One of the key things in backgammon is to make the checkers work for a living.

Flexibility

Over the board the natural looking 9/7, 8/7(2) was played but this turned out to be a blunder.

Patience is a virtue

Red is playing a perfectly timed 2-3 back game. Unexpectedly White has left him an early shot. Should Red hit that shot or should he bide his time?

A Tricky Question

Red could play safe with 6/1, 4/1 but what will he do next time and meanwhile he has trashed his board.
