A friendly suggestion: If you use apbg.net to generate positions, be sure to click on the "BGOnline" radio button so that local images will be used for the display.

As for the play, I'm a little surprised that the cube is still in the center at this score. In fact, before this roll I would probably have doubled.

If the cube were already turned then it would be gammon go and I would play 9/2*. With the cube in the center I'm not sure; I don't want to lose my double by getting hit. I would play 11/4. Against a 5-point anchor the 11 point is the most dangerous point to leave a checker on, and so I would take the opportunity now to clear it. The only play I see that leaves fewer shots is 12/11 7/1 and that seems hopelessly weak, burying a checker and putting yet another checker on the dreaded 11 point.
