Beginner's Corner ("BQ"): Coming home safely

I thought that extending the prime and stacking an even number of checkers on the 8 point would be the way to go.

GNUbg disagreed, making a move that seems unintuitive to a punter like me.

Will appreciate a brief explanation of why the apparently safe play is not really so.

Thanks.

The score (after 0 games) is: tourney 0, You 0

Move number 40: You to play 11

tourney	125
You	83
