If we play bar/1, we'll almost certainly have to break anchor next roll, so I'm not seeing it buying us anything. Meanwhile, it wastes pips that we might need to run off the gammon.
But I think we want to leave one checker behind so that we at least have some chance of turning this one around. So, Bar/13, 23/11 for me, although Bar/7, 23/17or Bar/19, 23/5 are probably just as good.
