I mean that the equity difference between 13/11 and 8/6 negligible is.

We really have 0 offense with 3 checker on the 2 and a stack on our 6 point.
I agree with TomCowley that here our best chance maybe to run and forget about appearance.
b/22* 8/6

That is interesting. Perhaps Mr. Bill Robertie will point out in his solution the dilly third checker on the two point and the brittle checkers on the six as the kernel of the brute. Your bracket is a major one. Suddenly all checkers are in play. And the candlestick is on the midpoint, not on the sixpoint.
