Combining pipcount and White's wastage, Blue is well ahead in the race. His concerns are getting home safely and then bearing off safely.

Seven checkers on the 7-point are at least a yellow flag. I can't see a play (like 13/5[2] or 13/9[2], 8/4[2]) that doesn't include 7/3(2) being right. After that I don't like 6/2(2) since spares on the 6- are good. It's between 8/4(2) and 13/9(2).

8/4(2) leaves direct shots next turn with 5-1 and 6-1 (the only ones I see). Otherwise it's nice to own the 4-point from a future safety standpoint.

13/9(2) doesn't appear to leave any directs next turn. It also makes the 4-point or 5-point with quite a few rolls. Having the midpoint cleared and getting builders for the homeboard in range are bonuses. So maybe the instant 4-point is overrated.

Summary: 7/3(2), 13/9(2).
