If I unterstand it correctly, what Murat offers is essentially a "fair bet" on his play againt XG. What's that supposed to prove?

It proves nothing, of course. On rec.games.backgammon, I gave Murat the benefit of the doubt and patiently tried to explain this point to him. The response was incoherent invective. I concluded that he understood the point perfectly well, and was just—I want to say "trolling," but since Murat has assured us that he is not a troll, let's just say he was attempting to imitate a troll.
