1) With all due respect, any formula that can't see this position as a pass, needs some revisions or additions to it. 57 to 64 pips is only a close take in a pure pip count situation, but here the bearoff is also somewhat speed board oriented so the effect of a lead is greater. Of course, the extra checker on the ace pt is s defect, but White has many defects also including what may be a meaning cross over. Can White even win 20%?

2) You fail to mention a play that simply has to be clearly superior to 13/10(3) and that is 7/4(3). This game is a tactical battle with all these blots for both sides so perhaps 6/3(2)* 13/10 is even better. I'm not sure but would've played 7/4(3) but on further study, maybe I should hit.

3) If White were anchored it would be that take that is in question, but here the question is whether Blue is TG. I think it is very close since owning the cube Blue can sometimes survive being hit, but there's enough baddish sequences that I'll cash.
