Containment game, Blue is behind, White threatens to make a 5-prime. Cube has not been turned.

A tempting option is to hit on the 1-point. I say the 6 then should be played from the 11, so Blue can cover the ace. I do not like this move: if White enters on the 3, Blue lost outfield control for nothing.

Another option is 21/10. This gives Blue a lot of outfield coverage, which is good when we are playing a containment game. It also leaves four shots.

A third option is making the 16-point. Our lone chequer could then be attacked, though.

I do not see other options. 21/10 for me.
