Typically, after playing 65R, 41K or 43K (rather than the clearly superior 41H or 43H when two checkers are back) becomes the better follow-up with one checker back, and I see no reason to make an exception here.

The idea behind K is not to blitz but rather to reduce return shots. [Granted, T (sTack, 13/8) does this best of all, but failing to hit at all goes too far.]

Tough choice between D (Down, 13/11* 13/9) and X (hit-and-split, 20/16 13/11*).

X looks more balanced, though I'm reluctant to provide White (who has a tall midpoint) relative relief for some of her 6s and 4s. Offhand, I'll go with D though without much conviction.
