Let's try:

1. 18/9. I start with 18/13, and then like 13/9 more than 24/20 because I don't want a stack on the midpoint and I don't want to leave a checker where it can be easily attacked, slowing down development. 13/9 works to extend the prime, and the hitting numbers are duped, for what that is worth.

2. Double and take. White's checkers are all in play, he has to anchors and cannot be primed. Timing is going to be OK. The problem might be being forced into a split backgame with Blue breaking all outside points while White is still on the bar, if all loose blots are hoovered up. And a 1-4 BG is not ideal, but this got to be a take.

3. 23/13. If POH, what next? Blue would still be far behind in the race with many checkers back, and nothing to be picked up. 23/13 aims to get some outfield presence and mobilize a checker for containing White.

4. 11/5 8/5. Need to have the 5-point to be able to fight in an exchange of hits.

5. I cash, but perhaps it is too good. The Unsplit back checkers make me hesitate about playing on.
