Any 6 will make a formidable 5-prime and any 2 will send another checker back and (probably more importantly) step the runner up to the edge of white's prime. These are probably market losers, so I'm inclined to double here.

Can White take? He'll crunch if he can't get his spare on the deuce out into the outfield soon. I'd pass, but I'm not entirely sure, which gives me confidence in the double decision. D/P Since I suck at backgames, I'd be happy to cash this one.
