Pretend it's the OLM

The hit with 13/9* is clear. It's then a question of whether to play 6/4, reducing the number of return shots, or playing 13/11 and go for making the 6-point. Playing 6/4 means we are going to leave our 5- and 6-points open for the foreseeable future, and we can not contain white when hit. We'll be struggling the whole time bringing the other checkers home. Playing 13/11 means leaving three blots, with increased gammon risks. I think our anchor, and white's open 6-point give us enough insurance against losing gammon, so I would be playing 13/11 with the 2.
