Holding Game 54 to Play

I'm guessing that your four candidates are 24/15, 20/15 20/16, 13/4, and 13/9 13/8.

Black's position is flexible enough that I think 20/15 20/16 is a little too bold, despite our five-point board. He might not relish hitting those outfield checkers right away, but he could attack the back checker, and that would be very dangerous for us.

The rear checker guards the 21pt but could otherwise be a liability. However, running 24/15 seems to give Black too much freedom to dump checkers behind the anchor until he rolls the doublets he needs to clear his midpoint. Seems like we're too far behind in the race to run.

Between 13/9 13/8 and 13/4 I'm not sure. I think I slightly prefer 13/4 because it puts more pressure on the midpoint. Our five-point board should mean that we needn't worry too much about leaving a blot on the midpoint.
