In this kind of ending, I like having a checker in our own outer board to eat Part B of what could otherwise be a root roll. I'd rather it be farther back than it will be after 13/9, but at least from there it can play any half-roll without cracking. That leaves 23/22 for the ace, because we don't want to pick up the checker on the 9 and make it no longer able to play a bad 6. 24/22 is also good because it duplicates Oppo's point-making rolls involving 5s, 3s and 1s.

13/9 23/22
