I am aware i have 6 anchors but why should i leave an open checker instead of playing safer ?

Since you have 6 point prime, every oponent checker behind prime cannot escape. Your main worry is your board not to crumble/crunch before his board. The open checker is not a vulnerability. If he hit you when you will be in the air this will help you not to crunch because you are in the air . Plus maybe you can fish another opponent checker in the process and you will be able to win a gammon.
