In Response To: Play A "loses more gammons" (Timothy Chow)

I'm still not seeing what good the 61.9% cubeless figure is.

I think my perspective is that the cubeful equities are based on the cubeless game results. For example, in this simple position some games end on this turn T, some on (T+1, some on (T+2 and a couple on on T+3. Each result has equal value reagardless of turn number. Add the results together and you get the cubeless win percentage and cubeless equity.

If you want to know the cubeful equities, assign a cube value, position and best cube action to each turn T, and see what effect that has on the number of and value of the games decided each turn.
