Make up your mind XI

I'm ready for blunder town on this one. Looks like one with completely different gameplans and which one could be huge.

Usually 5/4 13/10 slotting works, because White isn't both hitting and splitting at the same time. But with the bar open I don't like it as much, because if White fails to hit She just sits on the ace and works on the other side.

24/23 13/10 stares into both barrels of those stacks... I don't like that. But it may be time to get moving, will we win a priming game against a lone checker?

Other possibilities, 24/21, with 6/5 , maybe 13/9, that might give us a 5 to make the 4 point with. 13/10 6/5 works on contain and is safe, not too bad.

To me it's either split, or slot. I like 24/23 13/10 as a couple good 6s for white are a bit duplicated and we make the move for anchor while having the stronger board. Out timing is Ok but not awesome for a prime. I like 13/10 5/4 because if we make a very strong board, best of luck to white unstacking cleanly. But a 3 will really suck, 63, D3 disasters, but at least we might get a return 6.

I'll go wild with 13/10 5/4. Low confidence. Answering though to force myself to learn something later.
