6x from the bar

6X from the bar is always my theme in backgammon.

I will re-visit this position later when I have time. What I would like to study here is that different placement of Brown's back checker changes the right play.

What if Brown has blots on 22p and 24p? 21p and 24p? anchored on 20p?

You should stay in his inner board to establish an anchor. I was afraid of leaving too many blots, but it doesn't really matter if you have three blots or four. Highest priority here is secure your anchor.
