White has a backgame structure, but a poor one and with no timing. She'll be happy to hit loose form the five point to try to win going forward, homeboard blots be damned. Any exchange of hits works to her advantage, the thing is, there's no good way to prevent leaving multiple shots. So, since we're most likely to be hit anyway, put the checkers where we want them - 17/11 15/9 13/7(2) looks good, although maybe slotting the three point is better. I don't think making the deuce point is the right idea, but maybe blue needs a homeboard point badly enough to make it pay off to bury two checkers.
