61 to play

XGR+ likes to play backgames? I'm impressed!

A couple things jump out at me here: 1) Werner obviously has good defensive anchors for the backgame. He will need to use some of these checkers to maintain his timing. 2) Blanca has a stack of (currently) somewhat useless checkers on the 6-point. Those need to get into the action.

6/5 looks right, but then I'm not sure if it's 16/10 or 13/7. Both sides would very much like to own the 10-point, but after 6/5 it seems like slotting it plays into Werner's hands. OTOH, 13/7 (although it will be the only spare on that point) may put that checker deeper than it belongs right now. Also Werner's 4's don't play on Blanca's side of the board and 13/9* would be a good use for that number.

I'm putting the checkers where I want them. Hope that doesn't allow opp to do the same.

16/10, 6/5.
