A poor ace-point game?

In Response To: A interesting problem, yes, but certainly not a poor ace-point game at DMP (Jim Stutz)

I'll hold off on the rollouts and wait for more replies, but...

I don't like subject lines that say "22 to play" with no more information, preferring something more descriptive. When I called this a poor ace-point game, I didn't intend to suggest that it should be played as one. As Jim points out, black's prime is not complete and there are a couple of stragglers. Nonetheless, white does hold--what did Kleinman call it?--the lead anchor. So the description seems tolerable and perhaps memorable should someone try to search for this years from now.
