Position

B/24 6/4* for me.

Blue has 5: count em FIVE of them blots. Two are in his home board. No way he covers all of them. Making the 4 point is huge and White will have time to even up the pip count later. If White somehow manages to not gain 40 pips over the next 3 rolls, he's still got the well-timed 20-16-13 point holding game.

Usually I'd be for the straight racing play but with pipcounts of 136 and 179 there's a lot of game left and the upside of making the 4 point is too big to let Blue have it. I don't think score is a consideration here.
