In Response To: A crucial 51 later in this game (neilkaz)

The checkers on the 6 wants desperately to go to the 5 and plug the hole. I'll play 10/5 6/5 and hope to come in and catch white if he hits and escapes.

Note, White still has 64 61 25 to hit after 13/7, and all other 6's also escape. This means the cost of giving the direct shot and extra escape numbers are less, and the improved containment on all the other numbers, plus the escape numbers where I am able to catch the runner should make up for it - hopefully.
