Our earlier 21 play was not even a consideration for me

PUKE at 21 played 10/9 with 15/13 rather than 17/15 or even 10/8(aiming at our needed 3 pt) ..OMG our choice is so poor. The overiding factors in our game plan are 1) Give Stick super horror rolls and 17/15 turns 33 into and instant match loser !! I like a free 1/36 chance. 2) Don't hit send anymore of his checkers back, (except maybe escapees from our hb) We most definately DON'T want to be hitting his blots in his hb. As we do, we risk letting him have some superbackgame with 12 or 13 checkers back on 3 pt where he can snake around after hitting us. Humans are lots better at doing that than most bots.

We don't need to hit more of his blots, which means we don't want him hitting us twice and forcing us to. I sincerely hope we can redo the game with the 21 play I would have made instantly, 10/9 17/15 !! This quicky GNU rollout and Snowie eval agree with me. I lost an earlier longer rollout showing 15/13 was likely a cubeless Whopper vs 17/15.

We don't need to be double hit as we don't want to bring back Stick's hb blots and we do want the 15 pt for a turn to allow Stick's game to end after a 33. Hence 15/13 is not our best 2 ! Therefore I seriously want a redo and to go back to that point. However, from the sense of education, the position we've reached is even more interesting, but from the sense of fairness we should go back and make the correct play as 15/13 is awful when compared to 17/15.

Something is wrong with my GNU export (happens when I don't reboot enough and also run Snowie and my trading software apps) but a 2nd rollout also shows 15/13 is likely a cubless whopper !

Stick, I suggest that in a superbackgame position like this, when selecting what to next for our side, you also check Snowie 4, and with GNU for small rolls like this 21 with many options you need to raise the default settings to select more than 8 plays at 0-ply to bring up to 2 ply eval.
