My intuition says the gap on the 5-point makes it difficult to contain the blot. If after 23/21*, 8/3 we can remake a second anchor (21-pt) the timing will no longer be sufficient to play a backgame.

It's a plus to have opp out-boarded and one of her checkers back, but that 5-prime makes it difficult to proceed forward even then. I'm holding onto the double anchor:

8/3, 13/11.
