eXtreme Gammon Version: 1.21

This is a funny little position out of the Fermilab of backgammon, at 2+2, orginally posted by insidebackgammon. Even though it is only a stinky little holding game and not a sploting position, it might be of interest here at the CERN of backgammon. The position is thoroughly done with a particle accelerator. Every one who get this right with Analytical Mechanics is a candidate for the new giants list.
