| White to play 5-4. |
Don’t bear off a man. Just move two men from your six point; you have practically no chance either to win a gammon or to lose the game — unless you leave a blot. If you use the 5-4 to bear a man off the five point and move the other man down, and happen then to throw 6-1 or 5-1, you will be forced to leave a blot.
