In Response To: Will XG2 have a 'View Statistics' feature? (Timothy Chow)

Timothy, thank you very much. That is the clearest explanation I have seen of what is meant by "winning chances". You say these are "some sort of estimate" of cubeless percentages. They may be a necessary step in calculating equities but I get the impression from your reply that they are no help to the XG user and merely cause confusion. (I dimly understand why ND and D/T winning chances can differ but I can't accept that they can both be described as "cubeless".)

Do you recommend that XG removes these percentages from user display and substitutes what you call "a proper estimate of the number of games you would win cubelessly --- moving the checkers the way you would move them if there truly were no cube in play" ? Xavier - would that be possible ?
