21 to play

This is a difficult play (for me at least). One idea is 7/4 hoping that our four-prime will cause White some difficulties. Another possibility is 13/12 7/5* hoping that White will enter awkwardly, but risking another checker sent back. Often hitting doesn't work well against a six-prime because it converts some of White's rush-forward rolls into dancing rolls that are bad for us, but here 66, 63, 33, 61 all play pretty well for White if we don't hit. White's gammon value is reduced ATS. I'll try 13/12 7/5*. White has a few awkward entering rolls that are good for us immediately, and as long as we're not hit, we have some counterpriming chances.
