In Response To: What and why? (Mislav Kovacic)

I can still win it from the front. I don't particularly want to be hit but it doesn't bother me either, because if I can't go forward then backwards it is. But I want my 5pt, so leave it slotted. My anchors are my greatest assets so they stay put. I don't want to start wasting checkers either, so nothing moves inboard. This narrows it down to 13-8 for the 5.

The 2 could be played 9-7 or 13-11. 13-11 looks neater, it's fewer shots than 9-7 and though I don't mind being hit plan is to try and win it by going forward.

13-8, 13-11.
