After playing the boxes, we're still ~20 pips behind in the race. That would seem to imply maintaining contact instead of running, so I think the anchors need to stay put.

That seems to leave making the 7 and 2 points - the problem being that white will improve her board and then we'll have a hard decision to make of whether to tear up the board or volunteer a shot since we've disconnected our army.

Making the 14 and 7 points looks playable - the bar point holding game should be solid and there's still sufficient contact. Plus, the solid five prime will be a major asset if we can hit something.

20/14(2) 13/7(2).
