Hi, I am playing around with the GNU BG and tried to find info about what excatly different lines mean in hint ouputs ofr cube selection.
For example, I have the cube in a certain game situation and the hint returns:
Cube analysis 2-ply cubeless equity -0.039 0.479 0.108 0.002 - 0.521 0.105 0.002 Cubeful equities: 1. No double +0.124 2. Double, pass +1.000 ( +0.876) 3. Double, take -0.433 ( -0.556) Proper cube action: No redouble, beaver (38.8%)
What exactly the different lines mean. I guess, the last line is the most important and in this case I should not double. What does the "beaver"-text in that particular line mean and what does the percentage figure stand for? In another situation the hint returns:
Cube analysis 2-ply cubeless equity +0.056 0.524 0.121 0.003 - 0.476 0.114 0.003 Cubeful equities: 1. No double +0.234 2. Double, pass +1.000 ( +0.766) 3. Double, take -0.212 ( -0.446) Proper cube action: No redouble, beaver (36.8%)
So, what is the best action here? Double? Then I have been double and the hint returns:
Take decision: Equity for take: +0.433 Equity for pass: -1.000 Your proper cube action: Beaver!
So, I should redouble/beaver? I noticed when playing human vs human that the hint often returns "beaver" for both players until the cube gets around 128. Is it really possibly that the best move for both players is to beaver? I'm quite new to backgammon and gnubg, so forgive any stupid questions..
