Luck? Opening rolls?

In Response To: Luck? Opening rolls? (mtuhtan)

According to the database in XG2, for JUST the 75,000 games it actually shows 0.000 luck. The Dice stats show Excellent/Very good for all the Chi^2 tests for both players. This isn't an issue with biased dice (They were Generated by Mersenne).

I should point out that XG2 will screw up with memory issues when a session gets too big. For this reason we split the 75,000k games into groups of 100 games.

On a side note, we used Dueller to drive the matches but didn't explicitly modify Dueller. Dueller doesn't screen scrape when accessing gnubg - it uses text interface to communicate. We created a proxy that acted like GNUBG, and that proxy then interfaced with XG2 by screen scraping/text capture/mouse & keyboard event hooks. So Dueller was fooled into thinking it was talking to GNUBG but the bot being accessed was XG2 on the backend.
