OK, thanks, I see there's a checker on the bar. Now I can upgrade the double-anchor. It still doesn't appear that I can go frontwards, though.

Hitting on White's 2-pt does give up some timing. Does keeping the 24-pt and opening up escape routes with a 6 as well as a 5 become a serious option? Note Blue will still need to play an ace somewhere.

The midpoint is a timing bank so 13/12 isn't particularly appealing. 5/4*? That's a 1970's play, and maybe a DT (David Todd) play in 2026.

I'm going tweener and making the 23-pt, hoping to roll an ace in time to give me a comfortable escaping 6.

23*(2).
