Which prime?

I make the 7 here. After that White needs to do a lot to win: Roll a 1 or 2 to hit, cover the blot on the 5 (I normally would not lift the blot), roll 2 2s and 26s to escape. A lot that can go wrong, and a lot of gammon chances for Blue along the way.

There could be a nice position pair if you give White a better prime (say by moving a checker from the ace to the 5, so the blot on the ace). Than White has another winning variation, to hit and win a PvP game. In that variant I'd make the 3 to leave less immediate shots. If the blot is on the 2, I probably would make the 7.
