Three reasonable plays: run 24/14; make my barpoint 13/7 11/7 or make the twopoint 8/2 6/2.

I eliminate the last option. An extra homeboard point is good, especially against one backman (attack one, prime two). Still, it's a deep point and I'm not attacking yet. Worse, it leaves

Oops. Looking at the diagram again, I see a play I had overlooked previously! Make the fivepoint, 11/5 9/5, how could it be wrong? Well it leaves an indirect shot, but that's a small risk to make this very important point. 11/5 9/5, and I'm glad I waited for the diagram to appear this time! ;)
