Maybe easy, but I got it wrong.

Thanks dear friend for the kind words 

Well, after Steve got the last problem right just because he knew that the "usual move" should had been discarded, I decided to post an easy one!  Yet, we've got just 1 correct answer till now.

And also I would say that I'm definitly not the one that his comments may be regarded as worth-reading. I just play gnubg, and whenver I come across an interesting position, I post it in my blog, and occasionally also here. This has been very useful at least for myslef, cuz I can remeber patterns better and cuz I review my blog from time to time.

My skill level, according to gnubg, is advanced on mean, sometimes I get expert sometimes intermediate, but on average I get advanced remarks. So you may consult a more skillful player if you want more accurate and more detailed analysis.

Regards

PS: The key roll in this position is 4-4, not 5-5. Execuse me for the mistake.

Actually red can still lose here...    It's just very unlikely. For example 66 every time would mean that white can bear off in 5 rolls and 2-1 every time for red would take 6 rolls after correct move. And white's on roll so it's not even close. 

Of course not - as I said once before all problems have value regardless of their difficulty, largely because of the quality of the explanations from the experts. It's of much, much greater value to know why a move is correct than which is the correct one.
