[stog]

elmicho rolled 6 1 so forced move made

we now also have 6 1

Spoiler

elmicho's board is seriously crunching with four checkers buried on the ace.  That means we don't have to worry too much about being hit and can attend to the most important order of business which is making our two point and the full prime.  If we can do that, the game should be iced.

So, 11/5 to give us 14 shakes that make the full prime.  Then 19/18 to dupe aces.

11/5 19/8

11/5 is obvious. Disagree about duplicating aces - note that some of White's 2's are going to be 8/6 (assuming he doesn't start force-feeding us blots) in which case letting him hit us gives us more return shots. With him anchored, three men back gives us that much more safety against being out-run when we open the prime - but not enough for him to get a tenable backgame going.

Spoiler

XGR++ says that there's less than .02 equity among the top eight moves.  A shaved monkey could avoid a blunder here.  I'm not going to roll it out - knowing that it's very close is close enough for me here.
