Re: [Bug-gnubg] Strange analysis

[Øystein O Johansen]

What is so strange? The top move?
Remember that 20/15 6/2 is one of the moves that keeps the six-point-prime.
It's not a bad move, even though it gives a double shot. If one of the
blots in the home board is hit, and your oponent can't cover his acepoint,
you have also increased your gammon percent by a lot. (And gammon is very
valuable here, isn't it?)

I don't find the move selection very strange (even though I think I would
have moved 8/3 6/2 over the board) , is it something else that's strange?
