In Response To: EPC gives wrong answer (?) (rew)

Hi rew. The guideline from Trice's great "Boot Camp" for this type of position where both sides have low wastage is that trailer can take if down at most

(L - 5) / 7 , and round down for L <= 62
L / 10 , add 1 and round up for L > 62

where L is the leader's pipcount. Applying this to your position gives that White can take if down by no more than 6 pips, so here the guideline gives the correct result although the take is clearer than it indicates which is in part due to the 0.3 difference in wastage.
