How do you anchor up here?

I'd try 23/21 8/5*. To me, hitting feels like a free shot. If we get lucky then we'll make our 5pt next turn, which will be a permanent asset. If not, nothing is lost. And of course hitting takes away half of the opponent's roll; since the opponent has lots of point-making rolls, that should count for something.

For the deuce, the only alternative to 23/21 that I'd seriously consider is 20/18. However, I think that the ideal anchor in this position is the golden anchor, because it neutralizes the opponent's spares on the 6pt and the 11pt. But we can't hit and anchor on the golden point at the same time, so the next best thing seems to be to make the 21pt and keep the 20pt slotted.
