13/9, 24/22, and then find a third deuce. (I like 13/11.)

The 9-point blocks 6's for White's more advanced back checker. And it leaves you two more good deuces to play. If 7(2) was getting serious consideration, which it should, those two arguments seal the deal for me. Similar arguments (for me) against making the 20-point. Why use all (or three of four) of your dice making one point when you can make good points on both sides of the board? (After 24/20, 22/20, you can't safety or cover the blot on the 9-point.)
