Robert does not point out the Cube - No Cube issue anymore (correct me if I'm wrong)
If you play a 1-point match, the final score is 1-0 or 0-1. However, GNU Backgammon tells you you win - or lose - 1, 2 or 3 points and that is indeed confusing. Setting up a 1-point match and winning it with backgammon gives you 1 point and the match. However, if you win a backgammon, gnubg tells you: Player wins a backgammon and 3 points. The score (after 1 game) is: gnubg 0, Player 3 (match to 1 point, post-Crawford play). Player has won the match. Both the "backgammon and 3 points" and the "post-Crawford play" are confusing, especially for players not used to money sessions, match play, 1-point games. Not for the 'habitués' of course, but nevertheless... My 2 1/2 cents. N.
