you are behind in every category. position, race, and threats. nobody yet has an anchor - tho he is much better placed to do so. your position is not going to get better quickly, unless you get a useful doublet. 6/1* is the only play to help, even tho it puts one of your checkers on the 1 point, otherwise you will burn the last spare on your mid point (13/8) or come into harms way bar/20 to play the 5. 13/10 does 2 bad things - exposes yet another blot and strips the midpoint (and therefore some counterplay). your opponent is likely to have a strong cube next couple of rolls and you a small take at best. be prepared to let this go unless something good happens quickly.
