XG does a -0.540

Hi!

Moments ago I completed a match with XG and it had the most crazy ending I have ever seen!

Everything was going fine and I was about to win a gammon when a coup-classic strikes and I see my gammon disappear in a puff of smoke. Battling on a bit then this happens:

XG throws a 1-1 from this position and decides to do a -0.540 move! Wot?

My first impulse would be to make the 6 point and hit the second checker too but according to XG it is a -0.230 error which sounds unlikely.

And I manage to win a backgammon from that position which also looks highly unlikely especially if XG puts two checkers on the bar.

What was XG thinking about here?

Best regards,
TP
