On 2-ply the gammon wins of 13/3(2) seem to be overestimated.
Interestingly, gnubg gets it right in 0-ply:

1. Cubeful 0-ply    20/10(2)                     Eq.:  +0,224
       0,592 0,017 0,000 - 0,408 0,008 0,000

2. Cubeful 0-ply    13/3(2)                      Eq.:  +0,171 (-0,053)
       0,534 0,094 0,000 - 0,466 0,041 0,000

Btw, how about changing the text export (and to clipboard) this way.
When the cube is centered, in most mailers the line gets wrapped
around:

^|                  |BAR|                  |     5 point match (Cube:
1)

How about either shortening it:
^|                  |BAR|                  |     5-pt-match (Cube: 1)

or putting the cube info in the next line:
^|                  |BAR|                  |     5 point match
 |                  |   |                  |     Cube: 1, center


While I'm at it, the pipcount is missing from export to clipboard.
