Murat's proposal II: does cube magnify luck or skill (variation B)
muratk
whether the use of the cube magnifies luck or skill in backgammon.
Essentially it's the same as variation A, (please read the thread
"Murat's proposal II: does cube magnify luck or skill (variation A)"),
except that while keeping gnudung as the analyzer, we will not analyze
matches played by gnudung against itself but will analyze matches
played between world-class human players.
Unfortunately we will have to settle for fewer than four billion
matches in this test but I'm sure it will still be telling enough...
What will this test accomplish? Since in the absence of checker
errors, (i.e. "perfect" player gnudung playing against itself), it
would be totally absurd for you folks to claim that the cube magnifies
checker skill, this variation of the test gives you at least a chance
to see whether your claim is true even between fallible human
players...
