1-1 to play

I'm confident about how to play the first 1. :-)

Obviously, the first two 1's are bar/24* and 11/10*. The next crucial question is whether to lift. Leaving the blot there looks scary, but Yellow is in big trouble anyway so I don't think he can afford to kill that checker. So I don't lift.

Now how do we play the other two 1's? The most aggressive play looks like 10/9 8/7. But seven blots (!) seems too much. If Black hits and Yellow dances then it's Gammon City for sure. 13/11 leaves only 3 blots and keeps the 11-point guarding the 5-point, but it doesn't produce any more direct covers for the 3-point. I'm not sure but I would be inclined to leave 5 blots with 11/9.
