Ack, a cube showing a 1! Richard might comment on this. (But those of us who were friends with the late Larry Strommen are quite comfortable with it. :)

No five tempts me away from making the advanced anchor: 25/20.

I suppose 8/7 is worth a quick look, but that's enough.

Only two reasonable aces remain: 24/23 and 6/5. Each has its pluses. 24/23 aims at Blue's stripped 8-point. It also doesn't leave a blot in a close race.

6/5 not only unstacks a heavy point to a very desirable spot but here it is one of the few playable aces, given White's stripped position, and that malady isn't alleviated by the alternative. Of course it splits into a double shot.

QF would say 6/5 but given the closeness of the race I'm going with 24/23.
