GnuBg - the 'proper cube action' statistic? 
  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.

Eskgammon (d10gammon) 
  For various reasons I haven't been active here for five years or more but I see many of the oldtimers are still here. All the bots made Backgammon a bit boring so some time ago I needed something that would change that. The result can be found below. So far everyone trying it have had a blast (even the most conservative people). Some reasoning and other fun stuff can be found using the link (but quote if you reply to stuff from that one).... more »
