"Is there something special about this match score?" Yes!!!

"Perhaps provoking a volatile position with some gammon chances and then turning the cube so blue's gammons are very valuable and white's are useless is the right idea." Definately although you turn the cube when you have a real threat and strong cube.

"But once the 20 point is made white probably won't cube (at least for a long time) so that's a good argument in favor of 24/20." Are you afraid of White cubing AtS if he getting an attack going when you aren't anchored? No way will White cube and kill his G's and get recubed to 4 from an attack position.

Anchoring is very bad AtS.. possibly a blunder. AtS you worry about the gammons you can win (as they often come with the cube on 2 or the threat to win one forces a pass) much more than those you may lose with a centered cube.
