When you play a 1 point *match* - a regular win, gammon or backgammon
will give you the 1 point you need (The extra don't matter). So you
have a 93% chance to win in the position you posted. GnuBG has 7%. If
you could cube (lets say you could), bot would say "My chances are 7%,
if I drop your cube I go to 0% and lose the match. If I take, the
computer still has a 7% chance".
The cube is only used in matches greater than 1 point or in a money
session. This is the reason the bot won't let you cube, and won't ever
turn the cube. Your options are to play a money session, or to play
matches greater than 1 point.

Yes I am playing 1 point games, and if you say it is that the cube
is irrelevant then this would tally with what I have written. But I
am not so comfortable with the cube being irrelevant, after all it
is in play and it is accepted. I am playing one game and I might
equally score 2 from a gammon or via the cube; its still 2 points to
me so if gnubg doesn't want to lose by 2 then it should not accept
the cube, I reckon.

Unless I am mistaken you are playing a 1 point match. Doubling cube
is irrelevant in a pt game. Its possible I put the position in
incorrectly, but I think its right.
Have you considered downloading the latest release?
