22/21 11/5. OTB this is obvious. But what's fun about the OLM is taking the time to try to think through and justify less obvious moves. Covering the 5 is clear. So if you do 6/5 then what with the other 6? 20/14 now gives us three checkers acting upon our outer board which can be used to attack Stick if he tries to escape or just to add to our prime. In fact, upon further reflection, the extra point in Stick's inner board isn't really that big of a deal yet and having more options in our outfield might actually be more useful (even counting the extra builder on 6 if we play 22/21 11/5). OK, I think 20/14 6/5 might be the better play. But I've already written the other so I guess I'll go with it.
