Next step ?

Some plays to consider:

Slotting 6/5 with some deuce (24/22 or 13/11 or 9/7). Using the last spare on the 6-pt is often concerning and White would love a chance to get off the blocked 23-pt with minimal retaliation.

5(2) "...bull by the horns" capture of the 5-pt is better. 5's hit but the counterattack here is more easily accomplished. Let's hold this one for later consideration.

Splitting plays: On the defensive side I prefer getting a better view of the outfield which give both 24/22 and 24/21 an advantage over 24/23. On the offensive side the 8-pt is more valuable for blocking the 23-pt than is the 7-pt so if lifting the blot I prefer putting the checker there. However it's only an indirect shot so maybe leaving it exposed and getting to the 21-pt is better.

Last one I see is 24/23, 13/11 which gets a 3rd builder for the 5-pt.

White has made no offensive progress and will be working on that immediately. We want to make the 5-pt eventually and "a bird in the hand..." Making it now really increases the sting we deliver with our upcoming hits.

5(2).
