I played this 22/19 5/1 OTB. I haven't evaluated this one, but I have a sneaking suspicion that I may have blundered here. I remember at the time I felt that it kept the checkers nicely connected and I would get more return shots this way even if hit or picked and passed.

Would you just play the quiet 13/6 and await developments? Does my play make it easier for white to double me back? I was thinking at the time that weaker players would be more reluctant to cube this given my play. Perhaps some other option is better.

What is your play and thoughts?
