Chuck wrote: I doubt GNU-bg 3-ply cube is as good as 2-ply cube, but no matter. (3-ply play, yes.)

For what it's worth, after White takes and Blue plays, 2-ply and 3-ply agree on White's cube decision, except after Blue rolls 4-2 or 5-1, played 13/7. After those rolls only 3-ply redoubles; a short rollout suggests that it should not.

For the other rolls: if Blue rolls 66, 65, 55, 63, 62, 53, 44, 43, 33, 31, 21, 11 -> Gnubg 2- and 3-ply do not redouble, and if Blue rolls 64, 61, 54, 52 (played 18/16 18.13 by 2-ply and 18/13 7/5 by 3-ply), 41, 32 22 -> Gnubg 2- and 3-ply do redouble.
