BQ: Build the board, forget the golden point

I thought making the 5 point--even just to cover, not because it was the 5 point--was an automatic die. The bot thinks otherwise: build the home board pronto.

I realize that gammons don't matter, but somehow leaving the two exposed checksers looks weird.

Will appreciate the logic behind rushing to build the home board while leaving the two blots, or at least the defenseless one the 5 point, as ready pickings.

The score (after 1 game) is: GammonBot_VII 2, You 0 (match to 3 points, Crawford game)

Move number 5: You to play 41

GammonBot_VII	131
You	154
Position ID: 4HMbBwCw5+ABIQ Match ID: 8AlmACAAAAAA

• You moves 24/20 6/5

Alert: very bad move ( -0.106)
