Is hitting correct here? If so, hit one, two, or three?

Hard to resist sending three to the roof, but blue has a strong backgame going and hitting multiple checkers undermines that advantage.

Slotting the five and making the ten looks playable and keeps the backgame going. But it's often best to try to win going forward - the point of a backgame is to wait for a shot and now's the chance. OTOH, you want to have a board while your opponent doesn't when you hit.

So, I'll try to tame my normal aggressive character and play quietly with 11/10 8/5. No idea if it's right. Or whether XG understands these positions.
