Play 11: go after 3rd checker?

bar/24*/23* seems automatic. The other two aces can be played to either make the 5 point or shift points to the one picking up another checker.

I think I'd rather have 2 on the bar with a 4 point board than 3 on the bar with a three point board. Making the 5 gives a pretty 5-prime with 5 checkers stuck behind it. The thing is, if he anchors on the 1 point his backgame chances improve substantially and whacking the ace point blot makes it a lot less likely for him to anchor there.

So I'll shift points to prevent the second anchor. Not at all sure it's right.
