Slot the point. The risk is much smaller in backgame.

Problem 4

You must come out from the prime!

Don’t come out is crime in backgame.

Problem 5

The minimum pip trail to take

1-2 backgame is Very hard to get the good timing.

Problem 6

The best play: 8/2!

Getting hit is not critical at all.

Think about Red’s 52 for example.
