31 to play at DMP

White has few checkers in the zone and they are poorly positioned, especially after the loose hit, so White is hardly going to contain the hit checker.

Why is anchoring too passive? Normally the sort of loose hit which you make here is made for tempo reasons. I don't fully understand exactly what White is threatening to do here.

If we anchor up, then it's unlikely that we won't get and hit a shot later in the game which may enable us to catch up in the race, perhaps by containing the hit checker, perhaps because we hit multiple shots.

If we anchor up, then there's a good chance that our outfield blot is hit in which case we will threaten to come in deep.

To me the anchor isn't ideal because I'd like to hang back as far as possible, but the loose hit just seems worse to me. Since the anchor looks "best", QF suggests you're probably right.
