Stick's rollout of his original position (reached by 62S-51H-62H-43@-64P-43) supports 24/21 6/2* as best. Sam correctly chose that move, and added the comment:

What else do we have? 13/6 looks pretty sick.

I nudged Blue's anchor up from 21pt to 20pt (see position above, reached by 62S-51H-62H-54@-64P-43). The move T (sTack/Tower, 13/6) still looks sick yet tops the rollout. (This might be overturned in a longer rollout, but I just wanted to illustrate that T is competitive.) By contrast, with Blue's anchor on the 21pt, T rolled out as a .050 error.

It's the little things that make life so worthwhile.
