Blue to play 12

eXtreme Gammon Version: 2.10

A similar position arose in a match and my opponent played it right. When I tried to remember after the match I could not and I composed one myself. I did not remember then that Stick had earlier published a similar theme and said world class players play it often. Sometime I intended publishing my position with the name "blossom" - blossoms are short lived but beautiful.

My question is: How do you decide on the right move. I have done a trick to make it more difficult to answer the question:)
