| White to play 1-1. |
Make your bar and five points. This is just about as powerful a move as the one we recommend for double 3, for the same reason: blocking your opponent’s back men. You immediately establish a three-point consecutive block, and need only a 5 on your next roll to establish a four-point block (by moving a man from black twelve point to your own eight point).
