Blue to play 61

Sam says run the last guy...

Pottle says it is usually right to run the last checker. I wonder whether this is an exception. The Pottle usually works better if you have some structure up front. That reflects the reality that escaping is not much good if you get sent right back.

Getting hit on the 18pt could result in a strong prime forming almost immediately.

I'll try D (Down) = bar/24, 13/7. It simultaneously unstacks and slots a valuable point. Plus it will force White to sacrifice an asset if he wants to hit.
