White is Player 2

score: 2
pip: 131
7 point match
pip: 151
score: 0

Blue is Player 1
XGID=---B-BC-Ba--cD--abce----AA:0:0:1:53:0:2:0:7:10
Blue to play 53

I was tempted to play U = Up (bar/20 24/21), but I think Casper nailed this one. Playing up provokes contact, and threatens to secure an anchor, but it fails to cover all boards. With an awkward roll, White can dump checkers behind Blue, and simply play for the race.
