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.
