Many would find 51S-21$ slotting into the double shot surprising as shown on Stick's list. What may be even more surprising is that the most common response, 21S is only the fourth best move, a large .033 error. Both 21U (Up 24-21) and 21D (13-10) play better than the unmotivated split (24-23, 13-11) in this position. Those who won't play the slot here should be happy with U which is very close. 21U plays well when opponent has split the back checkers and there are only two attackers within range of the twenty-one point. It makes a good attempt at an advanced anchor and avoids multiple indirect shots in the outfield.
I'm with Stick - it's $ for me.
