Take a look at the following position.





White is Player 1

score: 0
pip: 133
9 point match
pip: 157
score: 0

Blue is BGNJ-A-v3.7-Expert
XGID=-a---bJ-a---bD---b-cbAb---:0:0:-1:00:0:0:0:9:6
Blue on roll, cube action?

eXtreme Gammon Version: 2.10

Your first thought is probably going to be: "What kind of an idiot played white here?" Well, I'm happy to report that I was an idiot playing the white side. This position occurred in my yesterday's practice match against Backgammon NJ.

So, I have a question and a bonus question.

1. What is your cube action here?

2. (Bonus) What was the perfectly played sequence of moves that resulted in this position? Retro puzzles are not my cup of tea, but I know there are several connoisseurs here.
