This has been discussed on the GnuBG mailing list over the years. If people are interested in Douglas Zare's view I recommend this Gammon Village article for details http://www.gammonvillage.com/backgammon/news/article_display.cfm?resourceid=5033

"The number of moves you make is very close to the number of moves your opponent makes, but the number of unforced moves may be quite different. In fact, your playing style can affect the ratio of unforced moves you make to the number of unforced moves your opponent makes. If you blitz your opponent too often at DMP and often achieve strong 5 point boards and closeouts, then you will have many more unforced moves than your opponent will. It is possible to give up more equity overall, while gnu reports that you are giving up less equity per unforced move. It is very hard for this to happen with Snowie's measurement."
