What would be right with the 55?

I don't know what's right, but I would be inclined to keep a checker on the 15pt, to have a chance of sending back a fleeing checker. My plan would be to try to force the opponent to collapse to a three-point or even two-point board by containing the back checkers. Keeping the third checker back also helps with the race.

I would pass, by the way. While it's not easy to play this position correctly, I doubt that it's enough to compensate for what looks like a clear drop.
