In Response To: Money-play endgame: Blue to play 3-1 (Timothy Chow)

I guess 6/3/2 loses less games (64 will not blot), but wins less gammons.

Maybe the bot evaluation will show even less gammons after the closeout because the board is not at all speed board with the stripped 3,4,5 points and the triple 6. So probably the additional gammons after the closeout will not outweigh the additional losses (2/36 = about 5%) after 6/3*/2
