Match Play. Red leads 8-7 to 11. How should Red play 52?

For money there is little to choose between bar/23, 13/8; bar/20, 23/21 and bar/20/18.

At this score Red wants to avoid losing a gammon with the cube on 2 so this is definitely a gammon save situation.

That makes taking the anchor a priority and so bar/23, 13/8 is the very clear winner.
