We have the better anchor and the better prime, after 13/9* 11/9, adding to the blockade by locking up the 9 point which blocks the 22 point.

Other plays: 11/9* 6/2 puts another checker behind the anchor, foregoes prime making and gives 8/36 hits from the bar at the 9 point blot instead of 12/36 at the 2 point blot. Hardly seems worth it. 20/18* 6/2 -- there goes the anchor -- and even more return hits. 20/18* 13/9* hitting twice loses the anchor, leaves 4 blots, and gives 14/36 hitting numbers from the bar. All four entering doublets hit twice!
