Opening 32Z: reply errors

Yes, that was clearer, thanks -- in other words, in part, in money games, future cube action affects the size of checker play errors, both the error one is contemplating making and the error one hopes one's opponent will make in reply -- an effect that cannot, obviously, be included in calculating the net effect of those errors at DMP. Right? There's the additional point that in a money game one might make a checker play error in order to induce a mistaken cube action, a strategy which, obviously, won't work at DMP.

Let me just note that the 20:9 ratio (20/9=2.22) you found in comparing the loss caused by like errors in 2nd/3rd roll positions in money games and at DMP seems to be roughly in agreement with the answer found with other approaches to the question: what's the average money game worth? About 2.2 points. Or 2.3. Or so.
