Cubeless or cube capped rollouts with XG

It is perfectly possible to modify the position so that it is cubeless or to set the cube at some max level.

From the drop down menu use "Setup-> Maximum Cube Value" and then you have a range of choices.

One thing you must do though is zero the previous evaluation before starting the new evaluation or rollout. I do this by flicking the cube position backwards and forwards but there are other ways.

Interestingly if the max cube level is set to "2" with the cube in the middle this models fairly neatly the 2 away 2 away score for low gammon percentage games - where race doubles can be made with winning chances close to 40%.

If you set the max cube level to cubeless, it doesnt matter where the cube is positioned on the board. From my experience, the true cubeless rollout tends to gives percentage (singles wins, gammons, etc) to one side of the ND and D/T percentages rather than somewhere in between.
