Thanks for clarifying the Backgammon bearoff rules for me.
It seems I've still got a lot to learn. :-)

If you roll 52, 6/off is GNUBG's short hand for 6/4 4/off.

6/4 4/off (or 6/off) is valid because both die values are being used, just in reverse order (low value first then high value rather than high/low).

My version is GNU Backgammon 1.02.000-mingw 20130728 and I encountered a weird issue at the following position:

Position ID: cAMAQB4BAAAAAA

I was playing back, rolled 5 and 2 and had one man on the 6 point and 4 men on the 3 point. I moved 6/1 and 3/1, but according to the tutor I should have moved 6/off.

AFAIK, this would've been an illegal move. Is this a rare bearoff rule that I'm not aware off or a bug?
