I think I have cracked it now. At least against XG2 which I have now beaten the last 5 games.

I feel strongly that 21*(2), 8/5*, 6/3 is the best move. This is an attempt to go backwards. After this play you go straight for the kamikaze plan, trying to get all your men recirculated while hitting White as Little as possible. When you do need to hit (in order to make him hit you back), it's important to hit him where he loses the fewest pips.

When you get beyond a certain point XG gets confused and starts to willingly hit everything and make strange plays. I have managed to end up with 14+ checkers back in the last 5 games, holding 3 anchors in white's home board.

So backwards it is, even though XG hates many of the plays!
