On timing in these situations. Yes, I agree with your analysis here, but we shouldnt ever forget that eventually these checkers get past the 4/5/6prime, because the prime MUST crash. Stick MUST bring his checkers in. Also, regarding backgames, the general rule of 100 pips behind, is a MINIMUM of 100 pips behind, we need to be more than that in order for this to work. So if we start hitting, we will eventually get enough recycled to make this work.

It doesnt actually matter when we get them out, so long as we can get enough of them out to stop Stick's running blot (that we hit, much later) from getting home.

I still strongly advocate the hit here. Putting a 2nd checker up gives us a greater chance that one of those blots will be sent back. It also stops him from immediately using his whole roll to try and claim the 16pt/15pt/17pt, whatever we need to take from him.

Messy though.
