Yes and hitting is obviously the right strategy: build an outfield prime and roll it home. XG doesn't know the value of an outfield prime so it doesn't see the move. And it is not that difficult to fins, as I mention always: BGBlitz needs only 1-ply to find it.

BTW I asked several GM and all agree that hitting is obviously correct. The most respected is probably Mochy who said he is not sure but will think about it. 2 days later he said he discussed it with IIRC Jim Pasko and Shahab Ghodsi(?) and hitting is clearly correct. In many positions if Bot A says move 1 and bot B says move 2 it is unclear who is right. Here it is and the error is *huge* and can't be fixed by settings.

That is the reason why I'm say "better" is to simple to compare bots. Better in position type X seems to me better suited.
