In Response To: [Hyper 11] Measuring contact (Tom Keith)

That's my dream, that one day backgammon bots will display the wastage numbers along the other properties of a position. I think it would make it easier to better understand what is happening in the game.

I don't have anything constructive to say here but I just wanted to say I share your ethusiasm on this. I would gladly see these numbers under every position and play around with them. I imagine it would give much more insight when analyzing a bunch of similar positions than current w/g/bg numbers do. The number of views or replies under this topic probably don't and won't reflect how much interest it would get.
