Entering with the 4 on the 21-point comes under the gun of White's three builders/attackers and looks dangerous, but White will make his 4-point whether Blue is there or not.  If White doesn't point on Blue with the perfecta, the checker on the 21-point will often be threatening to make an advanced anchor. If Blue chooses to enter on the 21-point, I would rather break the rule and prefer the splotting (split+slot) play of 6/5 over 11/10 with the ace.  Blue needs to develop his position, and the duplication of 4's is very real. If Blue chooses to enter with the ace, B/24 13/9 is my definite choice.  The builder on the 9-point is quite valuable.  If White hits one of Blue's blot in the outer-board, Blue will still have some return shots. So, for me the choice is between B/21 6/5 and B/24 13/9.  The deciding factor is that White has not yet split his back men, so Blue doesn't need an advanced anchor too badly.  Also, Blue is a bit behind in the race, so he doesn't mind getting involved in a priming battle. It looks close, but my preference is to sit back on the 24-point and play the priming game with B/24 13/9. [021605/ Build: 0.14]
