Spoiler

We're gonna leave a double shot anyway, so we may as well try the move that could lead to a win, B/16. We're still very far ahead in the race, and we got a runnning move, so let's race. Sitting on our 22pt is not a viable gameplan, we have no board and no timing for that. The backchecker left on 22 is not in too much danger since Linus has no builders ready yet. Yes, running could lead to more gammon losses without the anchor but the alternative move isn't so good for that either. We might be forced to leave the anchor later anyway, but then our chances to win the race and getting home safely are probably much worse than now.
