5/2* 4/3*, increasing priming and gammon chances, and trying to gain time to escape. If White hits back, Blue can achieve delay by staying on the bar. Alternatively, he can often succeed in prime-vs-prime, holding the 24 point plus a five-prime from the 4 through 8 points.

The alternative 5/4/1 puts a checker in a bad place, puts Blue in jeopardy of breaking next turn, and allows White a direct shot to make the most valuable anchor.
