<p>Once you have moved all your counters back to your home board,
you can begin bearing off. If you are well ahead, you may well have
trapped one of more of your opponent's pieces. In this case,
play cautiously. Do not expose a blot unless absolutely necessary.
Always try to ensure a balanced, even number of counters on your highest points.
<p>If you are in no danger, you want to bear off in as few moves as possible.
If you cannot bear a piece off with a move, use it to move a piece onto a space,
or to remove excess counters from a point which has more than others.
