Honestly, what is your OTB play?

OTB speed-play would probably see me play safe with the back men, BUT - when white is SO weak, I'd stop and look for better options. What would I really like to have now, that can be of value for me later on. That is not te 14 point for sure.

No, I'd like one additional builder for the 4-point, but I don't like slotting it in front of 3 men on the deuce.

There are two ways to get that, either 6/5 with the ace, or 13/10 with the full roll.

First off, 6/5 needs to play the deuce in the outer board, leaving a double-shot. Clearly 13/11 is to be preferred, since White would probably never hit with the lone ace, considering his board and the very high number of return shots.

That gives us to moves to choose between, both leaving the shot on 13, and an additional builder for 4:

13/11 6/5, or 13/10.

I'd prefer having the 2nd builder on 10 then, because apart from two builders, it leaves 3 checkers in the zone for extending the prime. I don' care for the 6-2 shot considering White's board...

So 13/10 over 13/11 6/5 with a narrow margin!
