First thought, so likely sure my play OTB is up and out, 22/16 21/16 .

If I check Magriel's criteria , behind in race, yep, more checkers back, yep, stronger board, yep. Have anchor, yep. Would say hit 6/1*. Not sure which 6. I guess it needs to be 11/5 if we're putting our eggs into the attack basket. Not sure. May split our forces too much as we would bring down the 13 checkers to contain. And without bringing a checker out we may struggle for pips.

21/10 seems good. Hold the anchor against those 5431 combos that dont play for white on the other side but stomp on our head rather well if we leave one checker alone on the 3. Keep the 3, work on containment. We have pips to use now. Only trouble there is a lone checker is just one roll and miss from being gone, and those fly shots are as deadly as getting stomped on if we bring two out. But the lone checker has more flexibility if we offer up an attack to white.

I cant decide. So first thought, Ill bring two out to the 16. Not sure why over 21/10.

22/16 21/16

With the feeling that every time I do this it doesnt work out... 21/10 second, on the fence.
