In Response To: Cube Reference Position Flash Cards (W Womack)

I think I have figured out a way to do this without making everything public.

First of all following Bob's suggestions I have changed the flash cards to multisided which allows you to have several categories of answers, so the cards now show under player (black in all diagrams) the ND win gammon and bg % along with the cube decision. Under opponent it shows the opp win gammon and bg percentages. It also allows you to see cubeless and cubeful equities. All of these are based on XG roller ++ information.

If you want to see a sample follow the instructions in the original post but look for the file Backgammon BlitzCubeRefPostion to download to gflash+. Again this sample contains only 2 positions from the book and one position that is not in the book.

Rather than place the full set in the gWhiz catalog I am going to use the Google Sheets method for getting it to people. Instructions are on the gWhiz site for using this. Sorry any anti-googleites out there but you have to have a google account for this to work.

If you send me an email requesting this I will email you back with some question that tells me you have the physical copy of the book, such as asking for specific text on a specific page. Once I get a response from you I will share the google sheet containing the file with you as a view only. This should allow you to download the card set to gflash+ but not make the file publicly available. Since there is probably a way around it once I share the file I also ask that you agree not to share it with anyone else.

A couple of other disclaimers:

I am not technical support for gWhiz, Google Sheets or anything else. If you cannot get it to work once I share the sheet with you I probably will not be able to help you solve any other technical issues.

Secondly, while I believe I have copied and pasted all of the xg info, positions diagrams etc, correctly use at your own risk. I am not responsible for errors. If you do find an error let me know and I will correct the base sheet.
