From The Backgammon Book, by Oswald Jacoby and John R. Crawford

White to play 6-2.

You can’t afford either to run with a back man to the black nine point, or to move a man to his bar point and another to your eleven point, because you can be hit too easily. Instead, you should move a man all the way from his twelve point to your own five point. Once more, you are exposing a blot where you stand to gain a lot if it isn’t hit.
