New iPhone backgammon app

For the ER rating, since the evaluator is only doing static (no lookahead) evaluations, it will not have very accurate measurements of your equity losses. For example, you could play all perfect moves during a match (according to let's say Snowie 3-ply). Snowie would then give you a 0 ER. But my app would compare your moves with its 1-ply evaluations and decide that some of your moves were not the best. You would probably wind up with something like a 2-3 ER. I think in general the ER reported by my app would be greater than what Snowie would report, and have a greater variance. Would that still be useful?

As for the lengths of matches, could you tell me which lengths you prefer? Is it just all the shorter lengths (1/3/5/7/9/11) or do you need lengths longer than 15?

Thanks for you feedback.
