In Response To: Another Backgammon Position (Stick)

3a 4a - raw takepoint is about 35% and the live cube takepoint is 24.5 according to a recent post by stick, although the sources i have say more like 22, so i;m a bit confused by all this.

With 4 checkers off, white would be 15% if closed out. She's not going to be closed out, but if she dances twice we'll get into a position where that will be a reasonable approximation. We're not there yet, and if white can throw an immediate 6 it's about even. I'll say 25% GWC and D/T.
