What's the best move?

To the guy who wonders why the program is risking losing the game when it is already won, ask the following question...

Computer hits, human hits back. Computer doubles (assuming it is not still too good to double). Does human take? No human professional player would take that double. No solid intermediate player would take that double either. So the game is won whether you get hit back or not. Leaving the shot incurs no risk whatsoever. The upside by hitting is the computer's ability to win more gammons.

Of course, what good is my opinion? I'm apparently one of your payed stooges. I'm still waiting for the check by the way! lol

Perhaps you should offer to prop the position with him in person? Alternate sides. You play the computer's play, then he plays the "safe play". He can bring the board and dice. He should also bring lots of cash.
