Interesting position. Making the 5pt should be high on the radar. The best alternatives I found are hitting once and hitting twice.

If Blue makes his 5pt, then White will have many rolls that secure an advanced anchor, preserving a decent chance for him. In addition, he will have a number of rolls that equalize the inner boards while making a point on Blue’s head.

Hitting only once leaves 1, 3, and 6 and numbers that White might like to use to hit. If he hits loose on his 5pt—and gets away with it—the game could swing in a hurry.

With 10 checkers in the zone, and the back checkers nicely split, this seems like a good time to launch an attack.

8/7*, 6/1*

Mike
