13/8, 13/9. If he hits one of those guys, he must have rolled small, giving you a chance to get back on the board and continue the blots-vs-blots slugfest, with your big board ensuring a win if you ever hit. (Do you think he should hit at all with his worst hitting rolls, such as 3-1, 4-1, or 5-1? Is the gammon risk too great?) If instead he rolls a medium-sized or large number that isn't a double, look how horribly it will play! You will have mega-hitting rolls, and those that don't will at least leave you with your board intact for later shots (or potentially winning the race, in the case of 6-6 or 5-5.) If you play 13/4, he can clean up in his board with his smallest rolls, and his big numbers that hit at least get him closer to home with one of those back checkers.
