Ceci n'est pas un backgame

Right. 53 pips is not enough timing for a viable backgame. Unless blue can trap the runner, after which white may crunch prematurely.

So, my cunning plan is to try to prime the straggler and hope for white's position to deteriorate. 15/10 9/5 looks playable; if white fails to shake a five she'll either have to dump behind the anchor or run off the eleven, either of which compromises her position. 15/6 looks a bit better than15/10 9/5 since is leaves the nine slotted and the ten point can't be part of the same prime as the four point so making the ten offers little upside.

Playing off the 21 or 20 anchors looks playable, but I'll hold the anchors and hope to strengthen the blockade with 15/6.
