It's great that you posted this while I was writing my other thread, ty. I see you use Go Figure to create the positions instead of GNU, it's easier with GNU but you may not use GNU, so before you post you might want to hit the Preview Message button and make sure everything looks ok. I always preview my messages.

We'll assume with your posting it's a 51 to say as you stated and the cube is in the center for money in which case I like hitting two checkers, 8/3* 6/5*. (I like this play regardless of score or cube position for that matter) This unstacks your semi awkward points and puts two in the air when you have the better board and the best anchor possible should things go awry. Also, your opponent has another blot floating about and you'll likely have a stab at that even if you are hit with one checker. Your opponent's forces are divided having two men back and already abandoned the midpoint, it's time to conquer. Put two in the air and start reaching for that cube.
