White has no board and three checkers back, so we should be looking for a pure play. Our midpoint badly needs unstacking amplified by our lack of presence in our outer board. Coincidentally, 13/10 duplicates white 4's. Now the only natural ace left is 24/23.

If I have to name one thing I learned by playing XG it would be distribution of spares is extremely important. So the heavy midpoint immediately gets my attention. Then I would notice that white has no board and unstacking becomes clear. Had we moved one checker from blue midpoint to his 5 pt, I would not be so sure anymore and probably consider 24/23 16/13 as the main candidate.
