In today's lesson, we look at (what I like to call) a few "rack and anchor" positions. Hopefully some patterns emerge and this improves your play. Thanks for watching.
"The Rack" is a term coined by Bill Robertie for when the 6-5-4 points are made in a home board. It is the strongest three-point board you can have.
Why is the Rack formation so strong?
- Opponent only has 27 entering rolls with one checker on bar, or 9 entering rolls bringing two checking back into play
- You can make bolder plays and take more calculated risks
- Your opponent will be forced to playing more carefully, or at least be faced with a difficult decision over the board
- Cube access is enhanced, particularly when you have shots
