Discussions - rec.games.backgammon

Hallo all, I have a couple of questions.. I tried to post on the gnubg old nabble message board, but it doesn't look like it's accepting new posts at the moment. Please can anybody explain the 'proper cube action' statistic in GnuBg to me. For example, on the bottom right hand corner of the Gnubg analysis section I saw a figure of 15.2% for a bad No double / Take. (Sorry I can't post the image on this Google group)... more »
