    There's a weird formatting error in the position, which
    makes it look like this to me:

    +13-14-15-16-17-18------19-20-21-22-23-24-+
    | X X O X | | O O X O O |
    | X O X | | O |

    +12-11-10--9--8--7-------6--5--4--3--2--1-+
    Pip count X: 146 O: 142 X-O: 0-0
    Cube: 2, X own cube
    X on roll, cube action

    But this doesn't make sense since O has only 12 checkers,
    and it's not credible that she has borne off 3 checkers.
    So I had to put the position into the computer to see what
    it was, and then I accidentally clicked the evaluation button.
    So I'm not going to comment on the position itself. For the
    benefit of anyone else who might be reading this, here is the
    corrected position:

    XGID=aBaC-aC-a---aB-A-bCbb-Abb-:1:1:1:00:0:0:3:0:10
