Dodged a bullet to get here

I thought that Mattusek's formula covers situations where both players have 8 checkers or less. Was it expanded?

From what I read about EPC, if both sides have a pip versus pip position, then volatility of the position is higher and you can take 1-2 effective pips deeper than if it was rolls vs pips. I believe that the rule you use for last take: number of rolls of the player on roll -3 = 5 here for blue is to be used for rolls vs pips positions. So I guess that here something between 6and 7 would be better as the point of last take for EPC.

Finally, may I ask where from you derived your estimation of a pip's cost of 2% down to 20 and 1.5% after?
