A board-breaking 41

You have to play the 4 from behind no matter what. I don't know if there is a reason that you put this position in 3a 5a but still 24/20 cannot be wrong. Then we need to find which point to break.

If we break the 6 point and our opponent enters he is a huge favorite to win. On the other hand breaking the 6 gives uses less rolls to bring some checkers home so as to complete again our board in case he fans.

If we break a deeper point e.g. our 2 point then if he hits (except 25, 26) we are in a much better position as he still has to overcome our 4 prime. If we also consider that with 22 he breaks his 6 pt and we take full control of the outfield with reduced risk then this play becomes more attractive. Finally, note that if he fans, 66 is more than a joker for us!

I would expect the other plays to be somewhere in the middle between 65 and 21 so I go with 2/1.
