acepoint’s home

2 vs 2 checkers (Chuck Bower)

• If your opponent is off in 75% or more rolls it’s a redouble/pass.
• If your opponent has more winning rolls (better distribution), it’s a redouble/pass
• If you have more wining rolls, it’s always a take
• If there is an identical distribution it’s only a take when you have proper redoubles after surviving opponents roll (not true for 43!)

3 vs 3 checkers (Achim Mueller)

(will follow)

General checker play (Kit Woolsey)

• Taking one checker off with one die is almost always right
• Taking one checker off with a combination of the dice is mostly right
• Fill gaps (with an ace aim for the 4- or 1-point)
• Play from the highest to the lowest stack

Wards adjusted pipcount (Jeff Ward, Walter Trice)

• Start with both pipcounts
• Add two pips for each extra checker
• If there are more than two checkers at the acepoint. add two pips for each additional checker
• If there are more than two checkers on the deucepoint add one pip for each additional checker
• Substract one pip for each extra occupied homeboard point
• Add half a pip for each checker in the outfield

Point of last take in low-wastage positions (Walter Trice)

• -5, /7, down
• /10, +1, up
• switch at 62
