    As you can probably tell, this position arose later in the same game.
    X is on the bar and still has a lot of work to do. For money, it would
    be a big blunder to redouble, but ATS, XG says that O should throw in
    the towel now. Bots don't play this type of position very well, but I
    think that XG will misplay X's side more than it will misplay O's side,
    so I think the rollout verdict of RD/P is credible.

    The variant below is a little unusual; I have changed the score to
    3a3a, so that redoubling kills O's gammons. The rollout says it's a
    borderline redouble. Again, one should take this verdict with a grain
    of salt, but it does underline why redoubling for money is a mistake;
    O still wins about a third of the time, and the majority of those
    wins are gammon wins.
