Anchor or Spread 'em

Sixes are duped to escape and hit if we don't make the anchor, so why make the anchor and give sixes to escape?

Behind this far in the race and with the stronger board (by far) I want as much contact as possible, so I'm not going to anchor.

Then, after bar/20, it's a choice between 8/7, 12/11, and 2/1*.

8/7 seems to provoke the most errors since any six requires a tough decision, so it may be best against humans, but the banana split forces O to make "bad" plays. If she dances, we're favored to pick up a second checker, and if she hits we have more contact in a situation where we want as much contact as possible.

I'll do that. Against a decidedly weaker player I might play 8/7 and hope for a blunder.

bar/20 2/1*
