Too many pips!

Interesting position.

After narrowing my choices down to 9/3 8/4 and 13/7 8/4 it wasn't immediately obvious to me which one was best and I took quite some time over it

Blue could play quietly 9/3 8/4 and yes the dice could co-operate but 13/7 8/4 looks better.

If white hits with a 5 then obviously blue is worse off (except 52 possibly).

Although things are not that bad as he's favourite to immediately re-enter and could anchor or hit straight back after which he still has both counter-priming chances and attacking chances.

If white misses then he will focus virtually all his rolls in building his prime so the battle now becomes a prime versus prime situation and as blue has slotted the 7 he is much better off.

As a bonus there's also a huge swing on 61 plus a big one on 44
