The off command

    Syntax:  off

    Often you will want to bear off one piece per move in the final phase of a game. If you have rolled a double you may want to bear off 4 pieces, otherwise you may want to bear off 2 pieces. Instead of entering the moves to do that manually, you can issue the off command and FIBS will bear off for you automatically if possible.

    Note: This command is not available in the MacFIBS menus, generally players choose to enable greedy as appropriate to a game situation.
