How bad is 13/8 13/7? It might not be too bad, but it doesn't look great. It's a catch-up play, trying--and at least momentarily failing--to draw level in forward strength when White is already better in that department. Especially in the early game, you shouldn't play catch-up when there's a viable alternative.

Is 24/13 viable? It's awfully loose, with two blots, 17 immediately nasty hitters, plus repeating direct shots on 52 53 next.

Then there's "Prime an anchor, attack a blot." Making the 1 point puts the most pressure on White, gaining a two-point board against the lone back man, giving White four ways to fan, taking away all White's point-making rolls but doubles.

Make the 1 point.
