Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but I'm having trouble reading
the stats here. I rolled out the following position from a match:

GNU Backgammon  Position ID: 8ObEAShwNwJgSw
                 Match ID   : cAkpA8AAYAAA

I'm trying to understand why move 3 is a -0.147 blunder when its wins
are only 0.1% less, it scores more gammons, and loses less gammons and
backgammons.
