PUZZLE: Getting Closed Out

White is Player 2

score: 0
pip: 167
3 point match
pip: 167
score: 0

Blue is Player 1
XGID=-b----E-C---eE---c-e----B-:0:0:1:00:0:0:0:3:10

3-point match, Blue rolls first


Problem 1: In a 3-point match, both sides play perfectly (according to XGR++ evaluation). On White's fourth turn (the eighth move overall), with the cube still in the center, she closes Blue out. How is this possible?

Problem 2: Same conditions as problem 1, but at the end of the sequence Blue is too good to double! How is this possible?
