Count your blessings

In Response To: Count your blessings (Stick)

Assuming an initial cube value of 1 (centered, as here), think about the borderline T/P situation -- there the game is worth 1 whether you take or pass. This game is somewhat worse than that (for taker).

For GNU-bg RO's (at least $-games, anyway) you do have to multiply by the pre-turned cube value, but here that is 1. At matchscores it can be easier to view things in MWC units where the initial value of the cube is already included, regardless of what value it shows.

That's my understanding; if I'm wrong there are plenty here who will correct me. :)
