I made a nearly quintuple blunder here! I thought if I could have manage to make an anchor on acepoint, I would have a decent game. However, I had to think about the other side of the story. If I couldn't make an anchor, almost sure I would lose gammon. Also, anchoring doesn't mean I would be a favorite. I would be still trapped two (or even three) checkers behind five prime.

Shifting from acepoint open to deucepoint make it clear take though.

Backgammon is an interesting game

I have never been board of playing BG. It has consistently given me new interesting positions, surpriseness and awareness.

31 32 34 is key numbers. It would be even game after those rolls. It is much better than breaking bar point and hoping that something (unrealistic) good will happen.

After 11 years of professional career, I still do not know how to play simple bear off. What a fish.
Black has a clear advantage and Yellow needs to roll something good. Yellow needs to prepare to roll something good. It is time to prepare for fours, not deuce.

I chose 17/12 5/1 with the thought that I would have more pick and pass numbers because I could use six as a picking number while two as a stepping up number. That is true to 64 63 61. What I missed here is that the importance of placing my spare as useful as possible.

-If I roll deuce in next shake, it would be much better to have a spare checker on five point and a lone checker closer to home board. It is much more flexible.

-Small numbers (11, 13, 14) do not allow me to kill my five and six.

-65 force me to move full eleven pips instead of only five with 17/8.(So that 17/8 is better for immediate 65)
You should not missed to see whole picture of the position.
