Pay now or later?

So this is a position where you think you should adjust your checker play according to the opponent, even though it's a money game?

I'd play 16/5. This is an interesting genre of pay-now-pay-later problems in which there are two outfield points to clear. I don't have a lot of these saved up but I have a few. David Presser posted another problem in this genre a few months ago. One thing to note about this type of position is that the state of the on-roll player's board can make a significant difference. He has to give some thought to clearing the second outfield point as well as the first, and what his board will look like by that stage.
