Cerebral Juices Are Flowing
I think I want the 21pt here more than the 20pt. It leaves me with two checkers within range of the opponent's 8pt, something that may freeze his checkers there while I am waiting to roll a covering 2. In addition, if my opponent can clear his midpoint, I would rather be on the 21pt than the 20pt.
After that, starting the 7pt, a point I want, seems better than just creating a new builder by moving a spare to the 5pt.
Fortunately, ths short time I spent on this leaves my wetware still in place.
b (both) = 24/21, 8/7
