23/16 looks like the best of the bad lot. We do want to escape...

A few people have mentioned this, but escaping doesn't feel very urgent to me, as I'm not feeling particularly trapped. We are behind in the race, so running for running's sake isn't thematic. White doesn't have what I call a kinetic offense, so there's little need to flee to avoid a blitz. The hits are more likely to come elsewhere, so there's a fair chance we'll have another checker sent back. This reduces benefit of our having "escaped" now. Meanwhile, there is at least some defensive value to guarding White's lower points, and if we get another checker sent back, we may even like having a low anchor.

I can still believe that 23/16 is best, given the alternatives, but I'm not seeing escaping, particularly into the face of a double shot, which is unlikely to succeed, as the driving force behind it.
