OTB I new that in this sort of position you usually want to attack the advanced checker in your board...ie the checker on the 6 pt bcuz if you can end up making the 6 pt the gains are enormous. I saw plays likw 16/13 24/23, but then my brain farted and I while I saw plays with 13/10, I failed to see 24/23 even though I was trying to dupe 4's. All that I considered was 13/9 or 13/10 16/15 and rejected both since 4's aren't duped to hit.

Finally I ended up playing 24/20, but as the RO's and several comments show, this is clearly worse than 24/21 16/15 probably bcuz it risks attack on a more valuable point and gives good 1's.

I took my time with this play, but should've taken more time. Then maybe I'd have not overlooked 24/23 along with 13/10 or at least realized that if I wanted to step up 24/21 16/15 was the way to do so.

When you have a quite unusual position like this one (ie I have no 6 pt and no builders) TAKE YOUR TIME considering your plays.
