Something like this ?
GNU Backgammon Position ID: /P8BAAAAAPD/Bw
Match ID : UQkAAAAAAAAA
+13-14-15-16-17-18------19-20-21-22-23-24-+ O: GNUbg

+12-11-10--9--8--7-------6--5--4--3--2--1-+ X: You (Cube: 2)
Pip counts : O 45, X 315
X wins if he rolls only 6-6s and O only 2-1s, and loses a backgammon if
he is moderately unlucky.
