The first thing I would do is decide if I want my anchor to be on the 20 or 18. Here, with three White's stripped outside points I clearly want to stay on the 20. 13 point pressures White's midpoint, so lets keep that. This leaves me with three checkers to play. Playing to 18 and moving 7 and 8 point checkers gains when White's next roll is 66 or 33. Playing to 16 and moving 7 and 8 point checkers gains when White's next roll is 44 or 22. Playing to 14 gains on 22. Playing to 14 gives us some extra freedom if we need to move the blot next roll but I don't feel like it is worth much. I guess, I would play 20/16 8/4.
