A lost bet that haunts me ...

Obviously, blue enters and hits. The question is whether to keep the prime or send a second checker back with 2/1*(2)

This is complicated by the fact that allowing white to entermakes it more likely that her board will crunch, while entering means blue has to contend with an ace point game.

I think the key point is that blue will have trouble escaping, and that trumps other considerations. Keeping the solid prime also means that any hits by white are counterproductive.

bar/23* 5/3
