From Backgammon, the Cruelest Game, by Barclay Cooke and Jon Bradshaw

Black to play 6-3.

Bring one man from white’s 1 point out to white’s 10 point. There is no satisfactory alternative. Black is now vulnerable to a direct 3. This is a shade worse than 6-4, since it is 25 to 11 that a 2 will not be hit but 23 to 13 that the exposed 3 will not be hit. Nonetheless, it is the best way to play this altogether unsatisfactory roll.
