I'm thinking of going with double blank.
If I get to move two spots I will move on spot ahead of her so she won't get away. If move three, I will capture her, if I get to store a turn, I can improvise later but most likely I will follow up with one of each.
Sounds ok?

Classic one of each for Eunji or double blank to force her to move a lot.
I am that if she moves very close to the end and you escape with your piece, she will have that first piece stuck with nothing to do.

Good to see you're having a good time I'm thinking one of each or double X for Eunji. Double X to make her move a lot or not much, since I don't want her too close behind me. But I'm going to think on it. |

Okay, I have been way overthinking this move  After going through it and realising that Eunji could get two moves of 5 spaces and then a backwards move to put her one ahead of me, which would then put me in a bad spot because I would be forced to do double blanks for her, which would then mean if I did always double blanks she could get a new piece to catch my piece almost at the end unless I switched it up, putting me at risk of her going backwards, I’m just going to do one of each for her. I mean there’s like a 1% chance it would actually happen, but ugh I just spent ages trying to figure this out and I think it’s easier if I just let her move 3. It means I can’t do double X for her though until that piece is off the board since she’ll be 5 spaces away from me, and I was hoping to move the new piece more now, but at least I still have two other options for throws. If I do a double blank and she does as well, she’ll be too close to me, and I don’t like that. I don’t really think those guys are thinking as far ahead as I am, but I’m hoping that’s to their detriment in the end. |

I'm not exact certain I got all of that but one of each is what I would have done for Eunji anyway.
For your turn it's a bit tricky, It would have been better for you to be 3 moves away from the finish instead of two because they would have tried to keep you on the board another turn with a double X and you could have taken advantage of that.
Now, they know they can't stop you from going over the line if you want to so they might just improvise.
Maybe if you do another double blank now and move your second piece so they know they should still try to stop you from moving too much and then surprise them with a double X when everyone expects you to play safe with another double blanks.

I think I actually have to go off the board to finish, not just on the finish spot? So I am 3 away. Bandage Man can you let us know about that please? But I'm also 3 away from Kyungran, if I put in a new piece to get her. So I was thinking about going double X this turn- I'm just not sure if they'll have realised what I've been doing with stopping the extra turn by doing one of each, and decide to do the same themselves? |

Well... I forgot about Kyungran's piece. It makes sense for them to try and avoid you moving three and since you're more than likely to do a double blank again, a logical move for them would be a double X to stop you from getting an extra turn and also from getting her.
So I guess a risky move with potential for a lot of reward would be double X and then if it works, follow up with a double blank (or maybe another double X to really surprise them but I'm not sure about this idea). then again, there's always the safe double blank, they will probably expect it but there's not all that much that they can do.
If you move slow and steady towards the finish line with the second piece as well and I keep harassing Kyungran's pieces, we should have this. Also, I don't think you need to move off the board, doesn't make sense and also it wouldn't make sense the fact that you can also finish by moving backwards.

I think it'll depend how Eunji's piece moves. If I do double X there's the risk of going backwards, so I want to see how easy it would be for her to get me.

Fair point. Worst case scenario, you know we can keep Eunji at +3 at most with one of each so that should be your buffer zone.

Now that Eunji has moved backwards and isn't that close to me, I think they'll know I don't mind going backwards so would be willing to do a double X here. In which case, maybe should do double blanks?
