Maestro AndréWelcome to the territory of 'intermediate' rolls. These rolls don't build a point immediately and don't allow a clean escape. So what do you do?
The most common technique is called splitting: you separate your two back checkers on point 24. One stays, the other advances a few spaces.
Why separate? Because a single advanced checker creates a threat: it can build an anchor on a strategic point in enemy territory if you roll the right dice next turn. Two checkers on point 24 is passive — one on 24 and one on 20 is two threats.
