More doublets to ponder, 55 this time

I like the idea of building a 'broken' 5-pt prime by playing 20/10(2). Blue trails in the pip count, and therefore needs some momentum to win this game. To me, this move seems to be the natural play, since he can keep White busy with either priming or attacking her straggler. Yet, the score (Cr-2away) worries me. White herself has a very solid position on her side of the board. The alternative plays (e.g. 13/8 11/6 8/3(2) or 8/3(2) 13/3), however, harm the connectivity and cause positions being very front-loaded. After playing either of them, Blue's game might stagnate soon.

My game plan is: keep White busy with her straggler consistently, establish a solid position on Blue's side of the board, then focus on escaping with the back checker. So, I stick to: 20/10(2)
