In Response To: Rollout: Blitz cube action (Timothy Chow)

I think given the PR diff. between you and XG (assuming you're playing 3 ply or better) and the small-medium sized error it is against an equal opponent it is definitely a proper cube. More interesting for me personally was the win/gammon breakdown. Properly estimating these will give you the take/drop decision and show you just how far away or how close you are to a cube at this score. You have to take volatility/market losers into the picture too of course.

I had estimated the player on roll was a game favorite and found the gammons the most difficult to estimate. I was in the same ballpark as Dmitriy, a shade too high.
