OTB I would play 24/20 24/21 here. This might even be the theoretically correct play. I'm slightly ahead in the race and have the stronger board so I'm inclined to get the back checkers moving and seize a good opportunity to go for a golden anchor.

But another reason to play 24/20 24/21 is that it's easy for Black to misplay the resulting position. I won't be that happy if Black rolls an immediate 2-1 or 3-2 or 4-3, but I guarantee that not every player of the Black side will know how to extract maximum equity from those good rolls. If I do succeed in making the advanced anchor, Black will really need to try to get his back checkers going, but a lot of players won't sense that need and will stay back for fear of getting attacked.
