Blue is down by 17 pips so the choice seems to be between clearing the 9 point and shuffling the runners (15/12 15/14 or 15/11 or 15/12 3/2) At gammon-save I'm hesitant to hit loose or offer a direct shot even though white's board is about to disintegrate.

All three candidate plays leave six shots. 15/12 3/2 gives more return shots if white leaps without hitting at the cost of possibly having a second checker sent back. I don't like that at GS, but I'd probably take that risk at another score.

So, my play AtS is 15/11. At DMP I'd hit loose, and at a level score (7a7a or similar) I'd play 15/12 3/2.
