If you take his [20], regardless of which of your dice you do it with, your own [20] will almost certainly get taken, which you can't afford.

On the other hand if you leave your [20] showing 7, and take his maxed-out [12] using your dice showing 3 and 9, you've got a good shot at taking his [20] next time... at which point he'll only have two [4]s and a [6] left.
That's the situation you want to be in, since it maximizes your chance of keeping your [20]. So capture his [12].
