Does anyone have any thoughts about checker play in anti-backgammon?  Aside from the obvious -- fill your home with blots, hit the opponent as far from his home as possible, etc., I mean.  For example, how should the mid-board be handled?  I tend to focus entirely on my home board and my opponent's.  However, as I play against better opposition, I see that they use the midboard quite effectively at times.  I have seen players extend the blot-filling strategy to their own outer board to good effect.  And what about the endgame?  I believe that bearing off strategy is potentially even more important in the anti game than in the regular game.  Any thoughts about that?
