In Response To: Measuring Complexity (Tom Keith)

The measure indicated by Tom is the "average" error a human would do on the move. Essentially, if many gets it wrong, it must be difficult. I like the idea.

For the maths lovers, we could use Sum [err(i) * p(i) * ln(p(i))] and call it "backgammon entropy" :)
