Bar/24 is forced and 6/5(2) is automatic; White's offensive position is not so threatening that we would forgo the 5pt for bar/22 23/22. The question for me is whether to play 24/23 or 23/22. White's position is geared more toward priming than blitzing. Thus anchoring is less critical than it would be if White had a blitzing formation. I would step up with 23/22 so that we can escape with a 5. The advantage of 24/23 is that both back checkers get to see daylight, but I think it's better to give ourselves a 5 to escape and a 2 to anchor.
