Fee Fi Fo Fum

Ahead in the race, I would just try to bring my checkers around with 20/18 15/14. Most other plays just create new blots for White to hit or dump stuff behind White's anchor, which does not advance my gameplan. White has a stripped midpoint and a homeboard blot so we don't have to worry too much about getting attacked.

Looking harder for alternatives I now see 15/13 3/2 as a possibility. However, just because those blots are behind White's anchor doesn't mean they're not a liability. Their presence allows White to play more boldly. If White had a stronger board then I might make this play but in the given position I like 20/18 15/14 better.
