The luck is defined as the value of the position after the roll assuming the best play minus the value before the roll (i.e. the average of the 21 outcomes). > > So does the Luck Caluculator - evaluate equity in the position BEFORE the > roll then afterwards? yes > Could a bad player roll a lucky roll play it in the wrong/bad way, and then > have a low luck rating? No. the move of the player doesn't influence the luck (at least in BGBlitz but I'm sure anyone else doing it the same) ciao Frank _______________________________________________ Bug-gnubg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-gnubg
