Lots of choices, but at this score (and many others) it's hard for me to believe 24/20(2) isn't half the play. After that candidates I see are 20/16(2), 13/9(2), and 8/4(2). (It's a good habit to at least ask yourself if there is a play which doesn't involve moving two checkers from point A to point B. Here I don't see any of those candidates that are tempting.)

With White camped out on Blue's 3-point, any cube turn is going to have to be mostly based upon total winning chances (i.e. the gammon threat isn't there, yet). Right now White looks quite comfortable. It's going to take more improvements for Blue to be able to ship the regular hexahedron.

Is there going to be blot-hitting? Potentially. If I'm hitting opp's blots I want the 4-point. If opp's hitting mine I want the 20-point. One play gives me both of those:

24/20(2), 8/4(2)
