At a normal score, XG plays 8/5* 6/5 as one might expect, even
though it leaves three blots in the outfield. But 8/5* 6/5 loses
more gammons than I expected, despite X's anchor.

For money or DMP, 13/10 13/9 is a perfectly reasonable candidate play,
but it exposes extra blots and loses a lot more gammons.
