Of course they don't agree what do you expect with such low ply ratings. This is a highly complex position and will require very high rollout settings to make sense of it. Needless to say this can take many hours or dare I say days. Very recently a poster complained that XG did not include the best play in its 32 options mmmm. Very recently some of the better minds decided to accept XG's shortcuts to determine the best play and thus create a ROT. Not a good idea a decent rollout proved them wrong. Your best course of action is to stick with XG and get a more powerful computer. Bit blunt that but there's no point in pussyfooting around this perennial roll out problem. You will find that very often when there is plenty of play that frequently there will be a passive play or an aggressive play vying for top spot. Not a lot to be learned in those circumstances. Back games are all about timing. Learn how to do a timing count in these circumstances, it helps clear the mind and can be an aid to cube decisions. The object is to claim your home points as the opponent is forced to vacate them and at the same time endeavour to force the opposition to crunch their board.
