Make up your mind X

Blue's asset is the five of six blocking points in front of White's back checker. I can't find a worthwhile play that gives that up. Thus 13/9 is my play with the 4-die and we can use process of elimination for the three remaining candidates for the 3-die.

24/21 has merit in that it gets a hemmed in checker to a least trapped location. I only see eight non-PoH rolls for White {61,62,51,52} and four of those allow White's back checker to step into the escape hatch, with the other four hitting Blue's midpoint checker while covering the 7-pt.

13/10 takes away White's easy hit on Blue's midpoint and sets up 65 to complete the prime (more pressing issues such as getting off the bar not withstanding).

Continuing 9/6 is the final option. As with 24/21 this makes all of White's aces and deuces good for what appears to be minimal reward.

Imagination often wins quizzes, but I'm settling on the unimaginative.

13/10, 13/9.
