I toyed with 13/4, 24/21 but the lone back checker is a juicy target, especially with the homeboard blot.

Normally holding the barpoint and just about any other defensive anchor is to be avoided because of the inefficiency of having four checkers tied up doing not much more than the work of two. But here looks like an exception. White's achiles (sp) heel (SP -- too lazy to look in the dictionery :) is the midpoint. And simply 21/18(2) and then working on the homeside doesn't look good for a couple reasons -- freeing up White's builders to make the 4-point AND keeping a point that might be difficult to clear once opp's blot(s) is sent back. So...

24/18(2).
