T (sTack/Tower, 13/6).

It would be a great surprise to me if leaving the double-direct shot with $ (Slot 13/7 6/5) is right for money or even at GG.

I wouldn't make the 5pt with 21 either; this is quite different from 61P-32Z-21 from the Ballard/Weaver book. (Blue has escaped a checker, White has a second inside point, and White has no point-making numbers using her 10pt builder that can be duplicated.)

If Blue had your position but with TWO checkers back (i.e., 64P-61P-52S-61), then I would play $. (Please forgive me if I stepped on your punchline.)
