| White to play 5-1. |
You left a blot after your last play, but your opponent failed to hit it. Now you proceed to roll either 6-1 or 5-1. You play the 1 first and use it to move your blot from the give point to the four point. Now you use the 5 to bear that same man off. This way you don’t leave a blot. Had you played the high number first you would have been forced to use the 1 to expose a blot on your four or three point.
