Whatever Your move is, You need to pray for another 11 ;-)

I am unsure whether to play Bar/24 (2) 6/5* (2) or Bar/24 (2) 16/15* 11/10*. Blue wants to proceed to the edge of the prime, but he just hasn't got time for that. Hitting open on the 5 point looks too dangerous to me. So does splitting the back checkers. Is buying time by hitting the two checkers in the outfield while leaving the 5 point open first priority or is it closing the 5 point and hoping that White dances? After 6/5 (2), White has about 6 rolls which sort of immediately win, after the double hit it is 11 rolls (every 5). But the chances of avoiding a gammon should be better after the double hit.

After pondering and not finding a decisive clue: I play Bar/24 (2) 6/5* (2)
