One more candidate: 13/8, 5/4. Don't think it is the right plan to make a prime and expose one more blot here.

I was trying to convince myself that hitting was right here, since i have the stronger board, and my opponent only have 1 checker back. But it looks like it leaves too many blots. So hitting is out. Slotting the 3 point also seems wrong since we don't have many covers.(duplicate deuces though)

That leaves the running plays. Is it worth it to keep the checker on the 8 point slotted? I think so, since it is ugly looking with that extra checker on the 7 point.

My play is therefore 21/15 with 21/16, 8/7 closely behind.
