A tough call here. Blue wants to do the following:

split his runners unstack the midpoint move the extra spare on the 6 to the 5.

Unstacking looks like a clear winner. Splitting seems to do more for blue than 6/5, although splitting is a double-edged sword. With 10 checkers in the zone it might not be the right idea, but I really hate sitting on the ace point waiting patiently to lose so I split here.

Splitting to the 22 is worth considering since blue sees more daylight from there, but I'll stick with S.
