Anchor or Board ATS?

In Response To: Anchor or Board ATS? (Neil Robins)

Thirteen checkers in the zone and a gammon gives white the match. That says anchor up to me. Granted, after making the five point white won't want to hit loose with our superior board, but I'm smelling a blitz.

The other factor is whether white has a cube against the high anchor game - I'm thinking "no" due to the score, but could be wrong about that. Might even be a pass after anchoring in an unlimited game since white is so far ahead in the race and can dump checkers behind the anchor.

Anyway, I'll anchor up here, despite not being entirely sure and mulling over the "when in doubt..." dictum.
