I really don't understand why 24/20 23/21 is better. Does anybody have a good reasoning?

It's always easier to reason after the event, but I can see several reasons for 24/20 23/21 being superior to 24/18, despite the fact that 24/18 duplicates Black's 6s.

  • Loose hits must offer a direct return shot, rather than indirect.
  • If Black points on you, you still have a direct shot to make an advanced anchor.
  • You have better outfield coverage.
  • Black can't run the last man without leaving a double shot. Black's sixes seem to play much worse after 24/20 23/21.
  • Black's three point is now too far forward.
