I vote still for supersafe like before the cube. Any hit is a big looser which we can't afford. Let's hope for miracle and give no free shots.

Again, I don't like the supersafe, because it leaves those two back points with nowhere to go - kinda out on a limb.  I would rather start them moving and get ready to try and do something to make it hard for fact to get safely out. If we can pin him down there a while, it might make it easier to later move that back checker. I could see no value in moving the very back checker 1, so chose to move the one I have split.  6-2, 3-2 was nice in that it made a home board point, but awful in the number of hits it left on that lonesome target.  Consequently I went for 15-11, 15,14.

We need to deal with the blot on the 11.  11/6 looks safe, but leaves us with an inflexible position - what are we going to move next turn?

11/7 8/7 is much worse, leaving a double direct shot instead of a direct plus indirect shot.

15/11 15/14 leaves only a single shot, makes a point 6 points away from the anchor, and begins clearing the not-very-useful 15 point.  That looks best.

Making the two point would be a good idea, but we need to deal with the outfield blots now, 

The runner should stay put until he can move to a point where a 6 escapes.

So, 15/11 15/14.
