We'd love to get Black to collapse but I think it's not a realistic hope. I think we jack up our gammons and backgammons by sending more checkers back, and assuming that Black can't make a second point, we shouldn't lose many more (if any more) games. Thus I would hit with 21/20*. It's true that by not covering the 2 point, we risk allowing Black to make a second anchor, but it's not very likely. Even if Black immediately responds with double 2's, we're not in much danger because then we do have excellent chances of getting Black to bury five checkers.

For the 4, I play the obvious 12/8.
