In Response To: Money Cube Action - RO (Daniel Murphy)

The power of the 1-2 backgame shows up nicely here. I recall that the beaver isn't reflected in the stats, meaning doubling is an 0.52 error, right?

BTW, was Jacoby Rule turned on for the RO? The number of gammons isn't much different for the two branches. (Or maybe GNU-bg never considers Jacoby in rollouts, regardless of settings.) Actually, now that I think about it, this isn't surprising. The reports always show gammons whether they matter or not -- quite typical in match situations where one player or the other can't use a G. But the question still stands as it should be reflected in the cubeful numbers (and maybe it is).

Another apparent oddity (maybe related) is that GNU-bg says with centered cube the cubeless equity is +0.12 but the cubeful equity is 0. (It does say -0 so probably it's slightly negative but doesn't show up in a three decimal place report.) I have an idea on this, too, but if I keep answering my own questions we'll never be able to appreciate your wisdom. :)

    • A reason I don't think this is a cube.
