My first priority is to get out of that awful overtimed ace-deuce game, so 24/22 for sure. Then 12/9 so Oppo can't just do the Hoover Maneuver and push us back into an even more overtimed ace-deuce. We can yak about trying to get him to hit more checkers after we roll that ace or deuce to make a better backgame.

Why I don't like 8/4, even though I might like it later: Too many double hits with 6s 1s and 2s outside, combined with a 4 or 5 knocking us off the 22 point. He'll break the prime to do that if he's read my article about Fish Island Plays. Or, he will if he's read the first of the Seven Voyages of Sinbad the Sailor, where the giant fish comes to life after its long sleep, and flips them off.
