9-13 24-20; 11-15 22-17; 13-22 25-11; 8-15 29-25; 4-8 25-22; 5-9 23-18; 8-11 27-24; 9-13 32-27; 6-9 27-23

10-15 22-18; 15-22 25-18; 9-13 29-25; 11-15 18-11; 8-15 25-22; 4-8 23-18; 8-11 27-23; 5-9 24-20; 6-10 28-24; 1-5 SAME CR

Interestingly, from the former ballot, 1-5 24-19; 15-24 28-19; 9-14 18-9; 5-14 22-18; 14-17 21-14; 10-17 is usually played, transposing into a tough Black position from 9-13 24-19; 10-14

However, from the latter ballot, 23-19 (10-14 CR) is usually played, resulting in an easy draw after the 11-16 break.

Conclusion: play 10-14/23-19 - it's much easier!
