Robertie suggests that blue should slot 5/4 while white's board is not threatening. But why would we want to give white an opportunity to step to the edge of our prime with tempo? Didn't make any sense to me. The two white checkers are pretty well hemmed in even if we don't complete the perfect prime anytime soon.

We might think about slotting if white has a decent prime of her own. We don't mind being hit here that much since it only improves our timing.
