I know that Robertie produced such a table in Inside Backgammon (magazine series from ~1992-1998). I think that table was shown on r.g.bg and is probably repeated on Tom Keith's Backgammon Galore website.
If that's the table you are referring to, I don't even remember 14 games being analyzed. Go was first, though.
I think the data were based upon the skill level of players ranked in percentile order. E.g. What is the probability that a 50th percentile (world rank) player of game A can beat a 99th percentile player? (Specific percentile values here are just for illustrative purposes. I don't remember exactly how Robertie did this.)
