This reminds me of Ash Dalvi's blitz-versus-prime positions from his Gammon Village article, but there are many differences, most notably I think that here both players have two checkers back. On the surface this looks like a clear pass since Blue's forward position is so strong, but can White's four-prime give him enough compensation to take? I doubt it. White has only a two-point board and Blue is anchored at the edge of the prime. Blue will win a lot of gammons. I would pass.
