We are playing White here, Leviathan.
Indeed, the board is backwards - we're looking at it from skater's view and white is now going clockwise where in the previous move white was going anti-clockwise. Let's hope we can stabilize on a direction and viewpoint or I'm going to get dizzy.
Make the two point. Since he's made a deep homeboard point his game plan is converging on a closeout strategy as opposed to a priming strategy. With his better board (ok, it's not that much better but it is better) we shouldn't give him anything to aim at, and since the priming threat is less than usual we don't have to be in a hurry to run. . By making our own homeboard point, we make the exchange of hits more palatable.

Spoiler
I hate making deep points so early in the match, even against an skater. It's not manly and pure. So, I am down to two choices: running all the way to 14-pt or 24/18-13/9. I choose the 2nd option since his 8-pt is undermanned and, Allah willing, there'll be opportunities for counter-attack if we're hit.

Don't you have the board reversed ? Skater opened by makung his 2 point with 6-4, so why do I see his position in our home board ?

It does you good to look at the board from different perspectives now and then ;)
