If Blue chooses to hit the blot on White's bar-point, it seems right to use the last 3 to hit loose on his 3-point.  This puts two White checkers on the bar and unstacks the 6-point.  The problem with this play is that it leaves a return shot, and if White hits the shot Blue loses his entire initiative.  If White doesn't hit back, Blue will still have to cover the blot on his 3-point with a half of his next roll when he otherwise rather use the roll to make a better point. Making the 3-point looks much better to me.  This locks up a good inner-board point, unstacks the heavy 6-point. If Blue makes his 3-point, the final 3 should be used to bring a builder to the 10-point.  Blue doesn't need to resplit with 24/21 and more importantly, 24/21 gives White decent non-entering 3's. The builder distribution after 13/10 is very nice.  13/10 with the last 3 is more productive than any other alternative. [030305/ Build: 0.14]
