Poll
We're forced to break our anchor on the 22. We have the option of leaving a blot there, but I don't think that's wise - it may win a few more games, but I'm sure it loses a lot more gammons. I'd consider that at DMP, but not here.
Vacating the 22 gives us a decently timed ace point game, so we're about 20% to win and 20% to lose gammon. Most likely we'll run it off and reset the board leading 3-2, but surprises do happen. I'm ok with salvaging a single loss at this point...
So, move 2 off the 22. Where to play the other two sixes? 13/1 is dumb. 16/10(2) isn't as flexible as 16/10 13/7, so I'll go with the latter. Maybe we can make another point before he leaves a shot...
22/10 22/16 13/7.
