Well, let's take a look at Bob Floyd's position.

Money Game
Blue on roll. Cube action?
White110

I don't have a bot with me, but White must have just rolled something like 61 from the bar, hitting. The position is certainly legal, because for example Blue's previous roll could have been 62, played 12/6* 10/8. Now, I guess that in that case, Blue should have instead played 12/6*/4. Still, I doubt that using such weak bounds, we can rule out 12/6* 10/8 as a candidate.

If we wind back further, White again entered a single checker from the bar with 61, and before that Blue entered a checker from the bar with 61, played bar/19/18*. White's roll before that might have been 44, played 18/10 16/8; again, maybe not "best" but I doubt it can be proved to be not best. The position is looking more and more normal now and I don't think it will be hard to rewind it further.
