Do you have a clue how to play this?

Normally the approach would be to try to destroy white's timing by not hitting any checkers, hoping that he would have to crunch.

If white would have all 15 checkers hit and a 123 back game, then he'd be doing pretty good. If white had all 15 checkers hit and only a 13 back game, then he'd be doing very bad. He'd rate to get shots but with no board and an extremly tricky containment game to play, those shots would be far from lethal. In the meantime, getting all 15 checkers sent back really ups the BG rate.

In normal circumstances, I'd try the pure play, leaving the deuce point blot and going after the 8 point. Here white already has so many checkers back and it is so awkward to not hit any checkers that I'll abandon the pure play that aims to destroy white's timing and in stead try to give white an overtimed backgame that is almost impossible to play correctly.

8/2, 23/21* for me.
