31 to play

B/21 looks right at GS, and maybe ATS as well even though it leaves you with just the starting position on your side of the board. If you enter with the ace (and don't want to play the 3 to the 21-pt), 13/10 looks to be your best 3 since 8/5 strips the 8 and 6/3 slots the not-too-important 3-pt. Another play is B/22 6/5. This play's a 3-fer since it's the QF play, the GG play, and the "put your checkers where you want them" play. OTOH, it's the play that's most likely to get you cubed and leaving 3s,4s, and 5s could get you g'd. The 2-cube gammon value is real close the the normal 1/2 and I think this risky play increases your wins by at least half your increased gammon losses so I'll vote for B/22 6/5.
