24/23(2) has a couple things going for it here. There the usual advantage that the 23-22 backgame leads to earlier shots so loses fewer G's (and wins more G's?) than 24-22. But here it also takes the sting out of a future 5-5 roll.

13/12*/11 looks like the remainder.

I find serious magnetism in leaving the 24-point alone and slotting the 4-point as an alternative. That solves the frontgame/backgame dilemma more quickly than the alternative.

Even at this score (or better, particularly at this score) I think keeping an eye out for fewer gammon losses is important.

24/23(2), 13/12*/11.
