In Response To: Very tough move and next cube action (Carlo Melzi)

You are only 7 pips behind in the race, and you have a better board. I think your plan need to be to jump checkers while opponent cannot extend the prime. So my choice would be 8/2* to put opponent on the bar, and then 13/11, to increase the number of covers. The plan would be to cover the deuce and then to start pumping checkers in the outfield (and stack on the 20 with 3s and 1s).

I think after any reasonable play you can take the cube.
