In Response To: Last position of the year -- VARIANT (Nack Ballard)

Comparing to original position I'd consider following factors: White has worse timing, so the backgame isn't that scary. She has more checkers near her prime for a potential attack, so our blot is in slightly bigger danger. She has more outfield coverage, so we want to run asap.

All that points to running now with B/21*/16.

Homever, White doesn't have the anchor, so full blitz is a possibility (or at least pushing White to an ace-point game). With that in mind, B/21* 8/3* looks tempting.

6/1* for the second hit still looks good, too, as we are unstacking instead of stripping and for blitzing it doesn't matter that much which point we hit on.

I lean towards running though, as I don't like the risk of having a second guy sent back behind White's strong structure.

B/21*/16 for me.
