I need to get my runners out eventually, so let's try while white only has half a roll. 23/18 13/9*

I can't imagine not hitting here, and while hitting twice 913/9* 6/1*) is worth a serious look I'm not too hot on slotting my own ace. Once i hit loose on the ace i'm pretty much committted to the blitz and with only 10 checkers in the zone i don't think i have enough. That said, I won't be surprised if the double hit is correct.

The other choices for the 5 would either strip the midpoint while bloating the 8, or bury a checker on the 3.

23/18 13/9*
