Blots, blots, blots!

If blue hits then the return shots are:

11, 12, 15, 16 plus any three for a total of 19 return shots. Only 32 covers both of white's homeboard blots, but 31, 35, and 36 hit two. Meanwhile, there are 16 dancing numbers which lead to a very gammonish position.

Nineteen return shots, of which 8 are devastating is too rich for my blood. I don't particularly like staying in the holding game since white has better timing, but I'm not in the mood to be blitzed off the board with two on the roof.

Score may matter; Blue can't easily turn the cube and gammons waste a point with the cube at two so a calmer approach seems wise. I'd hit at GG or DMP. Maybe even for a "normal" score. Here I'll play safe.
