Inchoate backgame

I have previously argued that if we can't trust bots to play backgames well, then this mistrust should "trickle back" to a certain degree of skepticism about opening rollouts as well.

The position below should help illustrate my point. It's still pretty early in the game. However, as I'll show later, GNU and XG rollouts disagree rather sharply here. For those who place a high degree of faith in bot rollouts of non-artificial positions (and this position is non-artificial because it actually came up in a game), I hope this example will give them pause.

But before I post the rollouts, I'll let you think about the position by yourself for a while.
