This is a tough one for me. Generally speaking, if the opponent has made her 4pt, and overall has a stronger offensive position than I have, then I will anchor on the golden point rather than hit in the opponent's outfield. (Michy has some clever name for the golden point when it's sandwiched between the opponent's 6pt and 4pt, but I can't remember what it is off the top of my head.) So that would suggest anchoring here. On the other hand, Blue is way behind in the pip count, and he really wants to send another of White's checkers back if he can, since it's much easier to contain two checkers than to contain a single checker. Hitting doesn't look all that dangerous here because of Blue's solid offensive position.

Not sure but I will go with my rule of thumb and anchor.
