On topic 53 to play...

Hit on the 20 and escape? Point on his head? Hit 'em both?

Yellow is ahead in the race, but has an inflexible position with the stripped midpoint and bar points and the stacks on 8 and 6. Were the distribution better I'd just hit and escape and try to win the race.

But the stacks are itching to be unstacked, so that makes me want to point on his head. The problem with this play is black's looming prime - I think we want to knock him off his 5-point. So hit 'em both. Black has no board so it's sound, even if it's not the optimal play.

23/20* 8/3*
