Weighted value of skill required in various positions

Seems like Murat is as hoodwinked by XG's inferior PR measure as the rest. It seems to me that the most obvious requirement for a decent measure of performance would be that it is actually properly calculated in the way in which it says it is.

Whilst the two things below are not supposed to count as decisions the reality is that XG fails extremely often to analyse correctly that they apply.

- A move for which the best choice and the worst choice have an equity difference of less than 0.001.

- A double action where the equity before doubling and after doubling is the same (optional double)

If people doubt this play out a game to conclusion where you've been bltzed off the board and don't come in until saving a gammon has just become impossible and see how many decisions you get. (That's not even counting the absurdity that you are supposed to get one for hanging around in his board till he is down to four or fewer checkers). And see how may cube decisions it gives you when you are behind odd away post crawford and never turn the cube because you never have a market losing sequence.

I'll take Snowie ER over this any day.
