The "normal" play is to cover the six and keep the anchors. But after making the six point, 21/20 gives white more trouble than keeping the 4 point anchor.

Is it enough extra trouble to justify the additional gammon losses? Seems to be the DMP play, so I'll use that aphorism and split.

Splitting both anchors seems to give even more trouble, but I think we need to cover the six. Might be the bot move though.

21/20 11/6.
