Why not 20/15? It gives Opponent too many ways to play numbers well that don't play particularly well after 6/1 or 6/3 6/4 (I think 6/3 4/2 is worse because it appears to make a little less likely to make the fifth point board point putting more checkers out of play).

After 20/15 Opponent can point on the home board blot with 9/36 numbers, hit the outfield blot with 7/36 numbers, hit both blots loose with 2/36 numbers, or hit the home board blot loose with 13/36 numbers. That's 31/36 numbers in all, the majority of which don't play well if you still have your anchor, but are either powerhouse blows (the pointers) or fair to good numbers (all the others) to which you're an underdog to respond well if you've given up the anchor.
