In Response To: Gammons/Backgammons (Seth)

In the early 90s, Kit Woolsey did an analysis of matches recorded by Hal Heinrich. Kit found that the implied gammon rate in these matches was close to 20%. This was a surprising result even then.

The 20% number Bray quotes probably comes from Woolsey's study.
