Don't leave any shots

I viewed the other post first and this is very different from what I suggested there where we were definitely in a backgame. Here the timing is pretty terrible for settling for any sort of weak backgame. We should strive to get those rearmost checkers moving.

Some may want to hop out with 23/17 leaving the triple shot but maintaining the anchor. The issue with this is we are unslotting the 23pt anchor which would be an improvement and not leaving a lot connectivity with the checker we popped into the outfield. We'd love to make the 18pt and in a hitting exchange we at least have some resemblance of a board. Worst case scenario is we get hit and don't hit back but likely anchor up on the 23pt instead of the 24pt. There's a big difference there and our timing will also be a shade better at that time. Lastly, our opponent lacks the men anywhere near the zone to attack deep in his inner board so we don't need to worry about those blots on his ace and deuce points.
