If Red plays 8/5(2) 6/3(2) and White is able to build another point, Red's advantage will be minimal or non-existent. The highest priority should be making the advanced anchor.  The 21-point anchor guarantees Red the advantage. It also puts White's made 3-point somewhat out of play, while if Red stays back on the 24-point, White's 3-point is quite functional. 6/3(2) unstacks the 6-point, but the 3-point isn't so valuable for Red.  8/3(2) makes the best inner-board point, but it cramps Red's position.  It also gives up the 8-point, leaving White indirect shots. 13/10(2) is more solid.  It unstacks the mid-point and gives Red good balance of checkers, leaving White nothing. 24/21(2) 13/10(2) is my definite choice except at GG. At GG, making two inner-board points is clear in my mind.  Extra gammon-win chances is clearly worth the risk of leaving White immediate 4 indirect shots. [Build: 0.14/102804]
