In Response To: Size of the resignation error (Florin Popa)

"if you try to build a position where to lose more than 6.00 EMG is not possible."

I have one with a greater than 14 EMG checker play error. Just backgammon yourself at 2a 12a on a 4 cube by playing 6/1(4) with double 5's instead of bearing off a single checker on the 20 point. With longer match lengths the error can be made arbitrarily large

" If you time out at 14-0 you lose around 29.0 EMG"

If PR is supposed to measure how well one played then that error deserves a huge hit.
