Blitzxz entered one checker, rolling 3-1, and Forum returned with 6-5, the 6 is used to enter, so which 5 to choose?

Spoiler

Keep the anchor.   Keep the blot on the 7 where it maximizes the chance of either whacking the blot again or making the 7.  That leaves playing off the 19 or the 17, and a checker on the 12 is in range where it's useful while a checker on the 14 is not.

17/12.
