Anand, meet Zax.
Zax *is* his name, like PELE or MADONNA or Winter
or Rumpenstiltskin.
Zax also has carte-blanche for rude responses
as long as they include a squirrel chasing reference.
So, that is Zax.
Mind you, the police know him as Ron McGill.
As in the Beatles' lines:
"Her name was McGill and she called herself Lil
But everyone knew her as Nancy".
Hope this clears everything up, Anand.
Albert
I belive that girl's name in Rocky Raccoon is
actually spelled Magil.

zax_cgp,
There's no need to be so rude. Oh, and signing the message with your name
would be polite too.

Toward the end of a game, I thought I had made a play that shut
down the last bingo lane and assured a win. When I load the position into
Quackle and ask Championship Player about the situation, it suggests a few
different moves with a 100% win but not the move that I chose. When I
specifically enter that move and then simulate, the moves that Quackle had
suggested show up as winning 100% of the time, and the move that I chose shows
up as winning 99.96% of the time.
For the life of me, I can't figure out what could happen in that
0.04% of the situations. There was only 1 tile in the bag at the time, so I've
tried all of my opponent's possible racks, and nothing turns up that is a win.
Is there any way to get at the information that Quackle uses during
a simulation, so that I could either determine that a mistake was made on
Quackle's part (and that my move was a sure thing) or find out just what
terrific move my opponent may have had?
Thx in advance.
PS: ideally, I'd like Quackle to say "Great move, but you missed
the remote possibility of your opponent's disconnected thirteen here". On a
related note, in a previous post, I thought it would also be useful to show
where moves played, so that I could see, for example, that 75% of my opponent's
responses to my move use a hook that I had opened up or a hot-spot that I had
created or a spot I didn't block.
