Subject: brearing off

i rolled 5+2 in this position

what would be the best way to move ?

i moved 6 to 1 and 2 off

but i think it would have been better to move 6 to 4 and then 4 off .. that way i would have 1 piece off as well but i would have spread my remaining pieces more evenly (i would still have a piece on 2)

any opinions ?

Hrqls: With only 6 or so pieces left on the board, I personally would do what you did.

If I has many more pieces left, I would have probable tried to spread out my pieces.... nothing worse then getting double 4's and you can't even move 1 piece off because you have nothing on the "4" spot, but plenty left on the 5 or 6.

..... but then again, I'm far from a backgammon expert.
