As a problem this position is very easy, but as an insight into backgammon’s intrinsic aggression it reveals a dynamic beauty, a kinetic pace, brimming with action and power.  Still in the opening after Black’s third roll, a standard idea for 63s is run with 24/15.  But, looking at the run, it suddenly rewards White’s threes, and promises only a dull encore should the running play work.   Instead, filled with cheeky daring and slippery suppleness, Black can float a second white dancer to the roof and add a checker to his bar point that targets loose home blots, both White and Black.  8/5* 13/7 

Sure, Black has his two home blots staring down two white dancers, and White is a favorite to hit.  Even when hit, however, Black has an anchor somewhere and can renew the attack.  Awkward sixes from the bar would help on Black’s side of the board.  What if Black is missed?  The situation remains very dynamic and Black smells a blitz in the offing.  Using the criteria of Safe versus Bold play, Black has the second home board point, not White.  And Black has the solid anchor, not White.  The volatility here is huge, more than twice the volatility of the opening roll.  What a wonderful play!  Forward momentum.  Once more unto the breach.
