Hi Rick,

It has been a long time. The mec26 was obtained by first getting the post
crawford probabilities from rollouts, then from the program mec.cc (i.e.
"first principles"). I can't remember where the other tables came from :(

However, I remember running a fair number of rollouts and evaluations of
specific positions with different equity tables, and was always surprised
how little effect that had, if at all.
A position has to be very marginal in some sense if an equity table change
changes the move or cube action.

It has been a while, so perhaps someone can take a fresh look and see if my
observation above is correct or not - by examining on a much larger scale
(which was not feasible at the time).
Alternatively, one can build an accurate table today based on rollouts
alone, and compare it to the rest.

-Joseph
