What to make of today's tools...?

Similarly, you typically face far more doubling decisions than take/drop decisions, so you're very likely to bleed away more total equity with D/ND decisions than with T/P decisions

Correct me if I am wrong, but this is only true if I happen to be the better chequer player. Presumably one's skills with the chequers will produce positions where one at least considers cubing more often. If the opposite is true and your opponent is more skillful with the chequers then you will get to face relatively more take/pass decisions and bleed more equity in that way.

I can see now that despite the tools XG gives me it is still not obvious what I should try and 'fix' next. Despite what I thought initially, I suspect (after a few player downloads and analysis) that a lot of XG profiles show (as does mine) that the chequer PR is quite a lot better than the cube PR. This does not mean I should be rushing away to fix my cube action.
