Yeah, but it leaves E3 free to move off if it gets a 4 or better. I really don't see how the risk is worth it at this stage of the game when you could block the 2 column without opening up another one.
Yeah, I know I'm not going to change the results and I'm not really trying to. Just if I was in that position in an actual game, I'd still make my move, not yours.
Wow! So for the JDD 2 series, we have two wins each for Khamous and Spork! Will the TTT be a tie-breaker, or will someone else take it?!? Going to find out very soon! Thanks for playing the JDD 2 today, and for the earlier days, to all who made it!
Spork, I understand perfectly how you feel . That was actually what happened to me yesterday with your winner move.... Guess Doug has more moves up his sleeve than all of us
It is a close call between these two. An added benefit of B3-E2 is you have max room to run in lane 3, possibly with a jump! With a roll of 6, open lane 5 is blocked for Red.
Full analysis for today's Jamzu Daily Double. (and now I have to get out the PMs for the TTT. Keep an eye out!) Position One Best Move: B3-E2 - Unblocks Red and Blue, blocks Blue (partial block switch) - Stops Blue from scoring in wide open lane 2. - Opens lane 3 for Red, while also giving Red a shot at the jump in lane 3 if Blue does not score on his next turn. - Allows the Red runner in lane 3 a chance to escape before Blue starts trapping him with moves like I4-H3, I5-G3, etc. - Yes, this move does allow the Blue runner in lane 3 to score. But if you don't block lane 2, you're allowing that runner to score anyways. Allowing Blue off in lane 3 now is fine, as this lane is only going to become a liability for Red if he leaves the runner on A3. Use the roll of 3 to both stop Blue in another lane, open your runner's lane, and prevent longer-term damage where Blue would otherwise try to trap you. Other Moves: B5-E6 - Similar to B3-E2, with partial block switch, and opens lane 5 for Red (but not fully!) - Does not stop a potential attack on A3 by Blue. B3-E6 - Similar to B3-E2, with partial block switch, and benefit of allowing Red to move his A3 runner before it gets trapped. - But doesn't have the benefits of stopping Blue in lane 2. B7-E6 - Unblocks Red and Blue, blocks Blue (partial block switch) - Opens Red for a long run in lane 7. - But doesn't have any of the other benefits of B3-E2. Position Two Best Move: D6-B6 - Opens Red runner while keeping the block on Blue in the same lane. - Takes control of lane 6 for Red, preventing any damage from the jammers at C3 or E3. - By keeping the block on Blue in lane 6, you don't open Blue for his longest possible run in lane 6, which could include a jump! Other Moves: D6-B4 - Does block Blue's C4 runner from scoring, and does take control of lane 6 for Red. - But does allow Blue both a shot at long run, with a score and a jump, in lane 6. This would allow Blue a chance to get way ahead in the race, which right now is very even.
Rofl, Doug likes messing with our minds, also, new page, I don't like page switching at the last minute...
H4-C7 was the correct third shot!!! You came within a hair, Khamous, with H4-E7! Congrats Spork! That was absolutely wicked between you and Khamous!
