In Response To: Make up your mind XI (pierrez)

24/23, 13/10 feels right here. White has a lot of checkers in the zone but the heavy 8-pt hits with 6's, the same number White wants to escape his back checker with. 13/9 (my second choice) leaves one more shot but doesn't duplicate Blue's own 6's. Hitting loose on the ace is another option, but the race is reasonably close and I don't think tempo is super important in this situation.

I've always thought that splitting into opp's ammo is safer (I'm not saying 'safe') when you have the stronger home board compared to when boards are equal or yours is weaker.
