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.
