In Response To: PLEASE EXPLAIN (rummer1973)

The effective pip count for stack and straggler positions with 1 straggler given by Trice is 3.5 X the total number of checkers left plus the pip count of the straggler. i.e. if there are p men on the ace-point and 1 man on the q (outfield) point then the effective pip count is 3.5(p+1) + q.

So in the position below White has an epc of 4 (total checkers left) X 3.5 + 16 (pip count of straggler) = 30
