If Red chooses to hit two men, 17/11* 8/5 6/3* looks best, but this play puts a checker behind White's anchor. Even if White misses the shot and Red covers, the 3-point isn't worth much and it doesn't compensate for the risk of getting hit. Red might not need the 11-point, but it will come in handy as a landing spot. 17/11*(2) takes no risks while keeping all Red's checkers in front of White's anchor.
