XG Luck Factor Question

In Response To: XG Luck Factor Question (W Womack)

I think there could be reasons why this might not work well on data from SHG because, as I remember it, a move actually has to be made for the dice throw to appear in the match log. So if my opponent throws a double six to get off a probable gammon and just resigns a single game without bothering to move the checkers and the match log appears to show the resignation before the throw, from XG's point of view the reason my opponent got off the gammon was nothing to do with luck but rather my super blunder in accepting the resignation. If when the situation is reversed I actually make my moves and that is in the log, XG could well report a positive luck factor for me when none genuinely existed.
