Spoiler

Splitting to the 22 made sense last move since only a few rolls allowed blitzxz to hit and cover.  Here, moving up to the 20 allows many numbers to hit and cover or point on our head. 6-1 6-2 6-3 5-3 1-2 1-3 2-3 1-1 3-3 4-4  - that's 17, or a ~50% chance of being on the bar against a 3 point board with no board of our own. 

Much as I'd like to get our checker out of there, the major split is just too dangerous.  So, the prosaic bar/24 13/9 for me.  Try to build a blockade of our own.

No double. Nothing dramatic is going to happen here, unless I roll double fours, which I, of cource, will.   ;)
