In Response To: The Time Management Problem (Casper van der Tak)

For exact calculations, I'd need information about the frequency distribution of points won/lost at different scores, also depending on the time allocated. Or is in any game at most one point at stake (no cube, no gammons, no backgammons)?

Yes, one point at stake in each game, no cube, gammons or backgammons, that was stated.

I don't think Bob performed the calculation because he probably worked out the answer at a theoretical level.

Probably right. ;-)
