" Of course, strictly objective analysis content like "White has 17 numbers to hit" can't be copyrightable. And in general, ideas are not copyrightable."

What counts as strictly objective analysis? It seems to me that a lot of backgammon analysis can be called strictly objective analysis.

As examples

1) "The following 2 ply analysis shows that white hits in 112 games out of 1296..."

2) "White has 17 numbers that hit but as the folloing XG rollouts demonstrate four of them should not be included since the priming play is stronger"

3) "White has 15 numbers that hit. OF the non hits 19 numbers convert to a race in which white has the edge. Only 2 rolls (12) do not either hit or convert to a race in which white has the edge"
