Late game containment - XG wish list

In Response To: Rollout (Chase)

It'd be nice if bots didn't clutter up the screen with invalid and misleading numbers about gammons and backgammons supposedly won or lost in rollouts at scores where gammons and/or backgammons mattered not at all.

If you're thinking that no, it's nice that this DMP rollout shows gammons/backgammons because that gives a good idea of how many gammons these plays win/lose in a money game ... no, it doesn't. That's why the numbers are misleading. They're invalid because the bot, playing to score, does not play to win or save gammons, and consequently wins/loses more/fewer gammons than it would in a money game.
