In some ways, a lot of choices for the six

As soon as I was faced with this position, I knew it was going to be the position I post from this match. Then afterwards I discovered I chose the third best play.

From the USBGF 2025 Online Championship (5 loss swiss), Round 7 against Kevin Hubbard. I improved to 3-4, Kevin dropped to 2-5 and is eliminated. 7.92 for me, 24.3 for Kevin. I met Kevin in Charlotte, where he took 2nd in the Novice tournament.

Score demands caution, our homeboard is stronger. I see some chances of backagammon and some chances of getting backgammoned. Race is even.

25/18 leaves a double shot.
25/24 18/12* sacrifices a perfectly good advanced anchor.
25/24 13/7 says bye bye to out midpoint.

I feel 25/24 7/1* has to be it. Lots of return shots even if we get hit back.
