Another easy win for me

Correction, as Bob stated: If the nonbackgamer wins a gammon in game 1, his match equity is 81%. This means the nonbackgamer's gammon value in game 1 is .63 . Gammon value for the backgamer is still .74 .

The point of all this is to find a match score and cube position that approximates these gammon values so we can input game 1 of a Pascogammon match into XG and at least somewhat trust the results. The best match I can find is 5-away, 5-away with a 2 cube (set max cube value at 2). Gammon value here is .655 for both players. I am very surprised that I can't find a better match.

There is the Maik Stiebler solution: "With a text editor, it is also possible to tailor METs to your needs."

Being as dumb as I am, I had to google "text editor". If I wanted to XG game 1 of a Pascogammon match, I would set XG to 5-away, 5-away with a 2 cube.
