Should I stay or should I go?

Even if we hold the anchor now and play 5/3 5/1, we're most likely going to have to break anchor next turn. So I'd break it now rather than trash our board: 18/14. Then there's a question about whether to play 18/16 or 14/12. 18/16 reduces shots but also reduces contact. We can probably hang around for another turn so I'd rather keep the contact. We're behind in the race and would like to hit a shot or at least cause White to waste some pips bearing in.

Does the score matter? I don't think so. Maybe it shades us towards boldly leaving a blot rather than holding the anchor, but that's what I'm inclined to do anyway.

18/12 would be my play.
