In Response To: EPC Question (John O'Hagan)

Blue's position has very little wastage. Another of Walter's GV articles mentioned that (IIRC) the minimal wastage once you get down to a few checkers left was around 5 or 5 1/2. That suggests an EPC of 40 or so for Blue.

One of my abandoned projects was working on rules to estimate EPC. One thing I did note was that a few checkers left will waste about 5 pips, but only very few checkers left--2 or 3. 7 checkers is quite a bit more than 2 or 3 (and quite a bit less than 15), and usually wastes ~6 pips.
