“Three Great Games”
Rollout of Game 2, Position 8b
From Backgammon: the Cruelest Game, by Barclay Cooke and Jon Bradshaw

White to play 3-2.

White covers the 3 point in his own board with a man from his 6 point and hits black on the 12 point with the 2. This is a close decision, but black’s board is now just good enough so that white feels he should avoid giving a direct shot.
