5-2 : Not sure what the right idea is here. I'd try stepping up to the edge ofthe prime and then covering the blot on my ace point. With a 4 pt board vs a two point board and with me having more checkers back and behind in the race my opponent should be inclined to play safe and not hit loose. Maybe I can make the 21 point and wriggle out of this one.

Cube: Add two pips for each extra checker and then one pip for the spare on the deuce and I'm down by 2 in the adjusted pipcount. (22 - 5) / 7 is about 2, so two pips behind is white's point of last take for money. But her takepoint is about 30, not the usual 22 so we can cube earlier. At 2% per pip I need to adjust the point of last take by 4, which puts this right on the edge of point-of-last-take.

All that said, I can't see passing this, and it's doubtful that I'd cube this OTB, but here I'll say D/T.

I've made no attempt to adjust for player strength, since at this point in my career I'm simply trying to play for lowest PR.
