chickening with 13/11 6/1. It's not our time to go for contact against a stronger board and white builders at the ready

I don't want to put a direct shot in front of her four point - if it was stripped I might, but giving her the opportunity to play the spare with tempo is giving away too much.  OTOH, I'm ok with leaving an indirect shot.  I don't like burying a checker on the ace yet, so I'll opt for the prosaic 13/6.  It leaves a couple of builders aimed at making another outfield point, but that's about all I can say for it other than that it looks better than the alternative.

i like 13/11 13/8; if hit we have an anchor and space to come in, if missed we could further our wee barrier, or play beyond. burying checkers does not appeal
