Bot Battle #123

Let's consider some candidates:

25/23, 13/9 seems like closing the gate after the horses have departed.

25/23, 9/5 starts a point we really want but does this do enough in the anchor building department?

25/23, 24/20 and 25/21, 24/22 share the same theme of getting back checkers spread out. This leads to more shots when White blots (note her limited flexibility) as well as gives the option of making an advanced anchor soon. Of these two, starting the 20-point makes more sense to me for three reasons: a) better outfield coverage(?), b) starts the better anchor, and c) keeps the two trailing checkers as far back as possible. If/when you anchor you want a good free safety to cover opp's homeboard.

I'm concentrating on the defensive side here. Note that making the advanced anchor may not be the top priority as opposed to keeping the back checkers spread out to shoot at White's upcoming blots. But in either case it's an added option.

25/23, 24/20.
