Like in the opening, this 33 offers many choices.
Like in the opening, these look far from obvious to me.
In contrast to the opening the equity differences are much larger.
So I could have labelled this quiz a "33 amplifier".

GNU Backgammon Position ID: zE7wATCYZ/ABMAWhen your opponent has made it so there's basically only one good anchor left to have and you roll a number that makes that anchor you should probably take it right? If not you risk your opponent making your 8pt and never finding the right dice to

After making the anchor of course solidifying your board, points in order, is the other half of the equation.

When your opponent has made it so there's basically only one good
anchor left to have and you roll a number that makes that anchor you
should probably take it right?
After making the anchor of course solidifying your board, points in
order, is the other half of the equation. (5pt) It makes it so your
opponent has a hard time splitting not only because he needs to find
the numbers to do so but when he does you'll be able to attack thanks
to that anchor on the other side of the board. By making the 5pt if
he runs into the outfield trying to do something with his now
awkwardly hemmed in back checkers and you hit that checker he'll not
only be facing a strong board, but a bit of an overwhelming offensive position as he can only come in on the lower points. (and presumably
you'll have multiple, like 3, builders in the outfield so he won't be
able to hop again and they'll be poised to make the bar point or the
8pt)
