41S-63S-43

Tim already provided a link to one of my posts.

At the bottom of that post, five links are listed. The third link, on 41S-xxx-43 positions is most relevant. The third paragraph states:

As it pertains to this thread, for 41S-xxx-43 (for money), Blue should avoid the offensive two-five distribution and make his 20pt, unless in the obvious case that White has split and is now directly threatening Blue's 9pt builder. Beyond that, 51S is the only clear reply exception (where Blue should make his 5pt by .026).

By implication, the emboldened phrase answers the question on how to play 41S-63S-43 (as diagrammed above). Blue's 9pt blot is directly threatened, so he should use it to make the 5pt.

According to Paul's Snowie trunc from many years ago, P (Point, 9/5 6/5) is better than @ (anchor, 24/20 23/20) by .041. Stick's XG2 3-ply rollout (though only 1k) posted a few days ago has the margin at .038.
