Best way to get them all home?

Plays that don't take at least one checker off the 16-point appear to weaken Blue's homeside position while not (apparently) improving the chances of getting home safely. The plays that do move a checker off the 16 (without leaving a direct shot) give opp 5, 6, and 8 immediate hits by my count. The downside of the lower shot-volunteer plays is taking the spare off the 5-point.

White's stripped position does give me pause. However, when missed the most straightforward 16/12, 16/14 looks by far the best. How painful are the extra 2 or 3 non-misses? Guess I'll find out.

16/12, 16/14
