~80 pips of timing is usually sufficient, but with six checkers back it will not be enough unless we can spring at least one of them. With "mobility and pure play" being the watchwords for a backgame, 24/22 seems like the right idea.

Where to play the four? A kamikaze play like 13/9 seems too loose. 8/4 is the pure play. 12/9 exposes no blots and maybe we have enough timing as it is.

I'll try the pure play. Maybe that aphorism applies to this position.

24/22 8/4.

As an aside, does everyone think the bot gets this position right?
