X to play 62
After 6/off, either 6/4* or 2/off gives O eleven rolls to hit. 6/off
is easier to clean up if X is missed, and also bears off an extra
checker. 6/4* wins more gammons. It's important to note that O's
board, while strong, is not perfect, so if X is hit, he still has
some survival chances.
In the variant, I have closed O's board and also given her 4 extra pips
(and a crossover), decreasing X's gammon chances as well as guaranteeing
that O will win if X is hit (by doubling X out). The variant is almost
simple enough to serve as a reference position; if you know it, then you
can infer that 6/4* will roll out on top in the original position.
