With 6-5 I run the back checker 24/13. It's in no danger but still the most difficult to escape. The 21-point checker faces few threats, and I note White's stripped 8 point. 21/10 certainly looks playable and might be right, but that seems to leave both sides with equally anemic threats, while 24/13 gives Blue, with his small race lead, a small advantage in both blocking and running chances.
