Generally, I prefer seeing the problem with the near side on roll, as shown above. OTOH, as XG has the colors reversed from what we're used to seeing with other bots, the dark color is on roll in both posts. :)

For money (regardless of cube position), R (Run, 18/13) is clear. However, AtS, which has become gammon go, Blue (Brown) can feel free to be more creative, in the hopes of putting more checker(s) back. To this end, there are at least three plays I like better at g:

D (Down, 13/11 13/10)
Z (reverse split, 18/16 13/10)
S (Split, 18/15 13/11)

From those, I can narrow my play down to the 6-duplicating D, which looks to be the most complicated and might be theoretically best anyway. I want to snare at least a third checker and/or put White behind a prime.
