Try this: If he has a single blot on square one of your home position, and you roll a five, hit him, even though its a dumb move on your part. The thing will get a one every time and thus set you back the whole run vs. his minor loss. This is part of the Pavlovian user training built into the game. Yes, it cheats and rolls lots of convenient doubles and such, but I can beat it usually anyway.
