| Black to play 4-2. |
Bring one man from black’s 8 point to black’s 4 point and another man from black’s 6 point to black’s 4 point, thereby establishing black’s 4 point. Since this roll establishes a valuable point in black’s inner board, it is every bit as good a roll as 6-1, although probably not considered so by many players.
