Yes, I should. OTOH, I only play matches, where the right play would depend on the match score, so perhaps knowing this for unlimited is not particularly useful. But here goes anyway:

IF we run, we lose a gammon unless we shake a 66, but no backgammons.

If we stay, we win a negligible number of games and run off the gammon about 20% of the time, but also lose a backgammon what looks like a little more than the gammons we save. If we lose a backgammon more often than we save gammon that would seem to imply that staying is worse. For unlimited, GP and BGP are the same, right?

So, I'll guess that running now is a bit better. I'd stay at DMP and at some GS scores.
