Bar/24(2) 6/5*(2)

This really is a difficult one. I asked myself the question: "How am I going to win this?", and came to the conculusion, that I am not going to win without priming white. While things look far from good, the proposed play at least gives a reasonable chance to have white crunsh while being blocked. Let's look at how bad the alternatives really are.

After moving up the prime with Bar/23(2) almost(?) every roll for white is a killer, either hitting my third checker or building the 6 prime.

After hitting 2, every 5 is a killer, depending on my play either hitting a third checker or making an advanced anchor.

Moving one up the prime Bar/24 Bar/23 and hitting 1 just looks gay, inviting a blitz.
