Hello!

I don't get this position. The analysis is saying that if I would play this move on the picture, there would be (only) 95% chance for the opponent to win gammon. Is there really any way to save gammon, because I don't see it. What would be the rolls that would save gammon then?

Or is this a bug?

In fact, the move suggested cannot save a gammon.
But several other moves would give a (very) remote chance of saving the gammon.

4/1 is actually an error here (the 19/13 with the 6 is fine). Blue needs 9 crossovers to save gammon after the move shown. Using the 3 to gain a crossover (such as 13/10) would reduce it to 8 crossovers to save. Two big doubles for blue, assuming no doubles for white would save gammon.

Ok, it must be a bug in analysis then...
