Backgame Checker Play

If blue makes the ace he'll have no hope of containing a hit checker. So 11/1 is out.

Pure play and mobility are the watchwords for backgames; slotting the six point is the pure play, but it leaves blue with sub-optimal mobility. OTOH, it's only a three prime that will soon become a two prime so the chance of getting stuck behind it is slim. The question is whether it's better to spread 'em around for outfield coverage.

I'll go for 24/18 23/19 - it seems to offer the best containment opportunities right now and if blue gets a shot it'll have to be soon to do much good.
