Playing agaisnt XG Beginner, I blundered this.

I've recently switched from playing against XGR+ to Beginner.

The reason being the style of play was simply becoming too familiar to me and I found myself playing a lot by instinct rather than raw analysis. The matches hardly ever threw up any chaotic positions that you would find in real life backgammon.

Needless to say my PR has got worse...a consequence of playing faster mimicking XG beginner and simply not analysing the more unusual positions properly.

What's best here and why?

		White is Player 2 score: 0 pip: 69 7 point match pip: 115 score: 4 Blue is Player 1
XGID=-BB-BBBb-----C-----bBaaed-:1:1:1:33:4:0:0:7:10
Blue to play 33
