The usual imperative if the opponent has an advanced anchor and we still have both checkers on the 24pt is to split. That imperative is strengthened because White has made her 5pt and is threatening to prime us. Splitting exposes us to attack so I would lift the blot, and 8/6 looks too inflexible, so 24/22 8/5 would be my splitting play.

The main alternative is to unstack and make a point with 13/8. But I don't think that that's as urgent as splitting.
