In Response To: Hit or not (eXtreme Gammon)

This thread helps me understand what I think Phil Simborg was really asking when he posted here a little while ago about having bots report more useful information for understanding a position. Cubeless wins/gammons give you some idea of which play wins more games, but this example illustrates that they can be very confusing and misleading sometimes.

For a live-cube rollout, it doesn't seem to make sense to report cubeless numbers—they're more confusing than anything else. Also it would be good to give some kind of information about cube efficiency.
