as you can see gnu 4-ply thinks me (v1) should make the move which wins less games and gammons and loses more games and gammons! all right the cube is in the center and i should have doubled my opponent out earlier and can probably double him out if i don't get hit. but still i can't follow gnu's logic. looking forward to your kind, plausible explanations.
