In Response To: problem (pontiac)

The checker on the 23pt is out of play so I would start by advancing it 23/17, where it can help cover the outfield when White runs.

After that, the 4 is difficult. My first instinct is to play 8/4 because usually it's bad to be hit since it takes away half our roll. Here, though, even if we're hit, we'll usually have plenty of return shots because we've flooded the board already. The checker on the 11pt is probably the one that is least well placed, so logically it would make sense to advance it 11/7, but the resulting position looks weird to me. OTB I'd probably play 8/4 but I can easily believe that one of the other 4's is better.
