"Danny (Kleinman, that is) created a table based up the standard
normal distribution.  If you memorize the table, then you can convert K
to cubeless winning chances.  Some people just memorize the "key" money
values of 68% (or 70%), 72%, 78%.  In tournament backgammon, though,
you often want to know winning chances over a MUCH wider range."  How
do you get THAT??

A question for the pros: can we still use this?
