Subject: cloning gammon

in this game i am only allowed to move from 5 to 4 (sending his piece to the bar) . after that i cant make another move as i will have a piece on the bar as well (cloning gammon)

in this case i think it should be allowed for me to move a piece from 3 to 2 as well .. that way i cant move my 4-die .. but if i make the move which is allowed right now, then i cant move my 4-die either

is this a bug ? or is this supposed to be this way ?

Hrqls: Bug. I suspect that the program was thinking of 5/4*/off, which maximises the dice usage. That code probably hasn't been tweaked for Cloning backgammon and doesn't takes new clones on the bar into account.

Hrqls: That is a bug or unwanted feature.
