6/3 looks clear but then we have a significant choice with the deuce as we see two plays that could gain.

24/22 -- That checker is a mixed bag of liability (that can be pointed on) and asset (guarding opp from dropping checkers in the homeboard). It's not clear to me at first glance if we want to stay or try to go.

6/4* -- we are outboarded and this strips the last builder off the 6-point. OTOH it is thematic in attacking opp's lone back checker - a checker he really would like to get out of there.

Note the diversification of Dillies' rolls if we move up 24/22: {4,3,1} hit and {5,6} escape. By hitting we take away a lot of options and make this potentially a very good roll (hitting), a very bad roll (fanning), or something in between. Note also their frontloaded position with stripped midpoint. That makes some entering rolls (like 62 and 65) awkward. Even outboarded I think we need to make our move at attempting to grab the lead in this game.

6/3, 6/4*
