That annoying 43

Some of the comments in favor of 13/10 mentioned either (1) increased priming potential and (2) 8/5 looked "ugly" or front loaded (which it is). But (1) although 13/10 may increase pointmaking numbers, but at 0-0, centered cube, race lead, and one man back, we very much want to run the back man, and 6-5 6-4 6-3 and 5-4 all do that. So 13/10 is a only a help with 6-5 6-4 and 6-3 (dubious because the midpoint is stripped) if Opp has blocked the escaping play, and since 24/20/15 beats 9/4 8/4, the spare on the 8 point is less important. And (2) the front loading 8/5 isn't so bad here, because then 2-1 can make the 4 point, 3-2 can make the 3 point, and 3-1 plays ok 13/9, and these are all decent prime improvers.
