XGR++: I hate being six-primed

This was a case of autopilot error. With the benefit of QF, one can more easily see that Blue wants to save a 6 here. But since this isn't your standard "save a 6" position, I breezed by this decision without much thought and played 13/5.
The choice between the natural 8/6 and the ugly 6/4 is more interesting. Perhaps someone with a better computer than I have will be interested in rolling this out. As for variants, I suspect that moving White's outfield blot around will be instructive.
