ME Table: Woolsey From:   William R. Tallmadge Address:   wrt@acsu.buffalo.edu Date:   8 January 1994 Subject:   Match equity/take-point charts Forum:   rec.games.backgammon Google:   CJBy47.7oK@acsu.buffalo.edu I've received a few requests for a match equity table more comprehensible than the last one I posted. Here are two such tables. The first (expressed in points-to-go) was calculated by Kit Woolsey (he's a school of backgammon thought!). The second table is the minimum winning chance (in %s) to take an initial double (2 cube). Gammons are NOT taken into account. It it based on the percentages in table 1.
