How would you categorize this position?

Winning by containing alone looks difficult since you still have to escape two checkers yourself. The timing for priming looks undecided with this pipcount and number of back checkers. Both players have made deep points, hampering their priming somewhat. White's stacks would like to blitz, so I like to stay anchored for the time being. Now, Blue can build or make a point right away. Given that the point of building is making points, I make the four-point right away, noting a couple of return hits and the duplication of 61 63 64. 62 65 semi-escape anyway.

Finally, I wait and see what see dice bring next turn - perhaps a clearer category will emerge.
