...a new puzzle possibly (maybe Nack has done it already). What is shortest number of moves to get one player with 15 on a single point with optimal money game play according to XG++.

Good idea. (I had looked only at fewest legal moves to stack all on 6pt, which is much less interesting.)

I looked at your puzzle this evening (i.e., from the opening position). I found a way in 15 rolls (i.e., 8 moves by the first player, 7 by the second). It's probably additionally possible to keep the cube centered, if you like I'll check that as well.

I ended up liking your puzzle more than mine -- it's more generic. Harder, too. :)
