On a more substantive note, I think it is important to take note of the gammon rates and learn what we can from them. For example, I was always taught that at GS you want to make a play like 24/18 13/9 that aims at making an anchor, but here we see that 24/14 actually loses the least gammons. I find that interesting.

But I would caution you not to think strictly in terms of "does this opponent leave himself vulnerable to gammons" without also considering that none of us, not even the very best, manage to extract as many gammons from a given position as the bots do. So in practice there's a margin for error in both numbers, not merely your opponent's gammon rate.
