In Response To: Impact of Jacoby rule on checker play (phil simborg)

How frequent is a "not a rare" occurence? The only data I've seen is mine: in 1,000 money games (Gnubg 2-ply vs. itself), 22 games were gammons/backgammons with the cube on one.

It'd be nice to have a larger data set comparing Jacoby and no-Jacoby money sessions with the same dice. You might have to fiddle with settings to make sure each new pair of games were starting with the same dice; but with a very large trial, that probably wouldn't matter.
