Nice problem!

13/7 6/4 looks like blue wants to get hit desperately in order to try a backgame.

I believe that this is a common misconception. Blue is not trying for a backgame; Blue is trying to form a counterprime. He would prefer not to get hit. However, getting hit isn't so bad compared to the gain in counterpriming chances when it works.

But it's still surprising to me that the pedestrian 10/4 rolls out so far behind 13/7.
