CRB backgame series #25

I narrow my choice to 5/1 7/2 or 5/1 11/6.

For several of the previous position, I've had the thought that in a priming game vs. 2 points, trying to outmaneuver the back gamer for timing, spares don't belong on top of the prime. Look how useless the 2 spares on the 5 point are. Look how awkward the 7 point spare is (that's why I don't consider 13/8 5/1, 13/9 11/5 or 13/8 11/6 to be top contenders). Although White has crashed a bit, Blue's still coming in a little fast. 5/1 7/2 looks like a time-adjusting delaying play.On the other hand, you eventually have to come home and break up the prime, and the 6 point looks like the best point that 11 point spare can go to. And 6-6 5-5 4-4 looks like they play a little better after 5/1 11/6.
