Hey,
So I was playing against gnu backgammon and rolled a good number (3 and 2) in this late match where I am losing hard. Right away I know I have to hit his blot with 24/22 to have any chance of winning but I am surprised by tutor mode telling me to make a strange play with the 3. Tutor mode tells me 24/22 and and 15/12 instead of 24/22 and 4/1.
I feel like 4/1 should be the perfect way to close my homeboard so I can safely bring all of my checkers home, but BNU backgammon tells me to leave a blot on the 1 point. And the difference to win the game is 20%, can anyone here help me understand why I shouldn't play the 4/1?
Here is the board:
