Position 1. No penalty here for losing a gammon. You win more games by staying back and hitting. I wonder how many players would get this one right over the board. Certainly I did not.

Position 2. A good mother will teach her young children not to pick and lick. In general, this is great advice, but if you play backgammon, sometimes you need to ignore your mother's advice on this subject. Not hard at all to figure out which play I made and not hard at all to figure out what Kenji rolled.
XG claims it is 100% certain that pick-and-lick is best. I wish I knew the reason that when I post my rollout results, the confidence % is absent.
