Gives directly the probability of winning the match after Double/ Take and Automatic Redouble.
 
1.4707 divided by two = 0.73535.
 
What is the logic of using a more complicated formula here that is known to produce the wrong answer?

Whoa,

It may be that I am dead tired and probably missing something. Can you give me the Gnubg ID (just the position) for your stats below? Because we are not looking at the same position. And I now see where all my confusion is coming from. Originally on BGO you posted this:

http://www.bgonline.org/forums/webbbs_config.pl?noframes;read=47213

Now since I don’t have anyway of easily converting XBGid’s to Gnubg I decided to use the GnubgID from the data you retrieved from Gnubg in this post:

http://www.bgonline.org/forums/webbbs_config.pl?noframes;read=47327

I have been blindly assuming that the 2 position were equal. After you posted below I realized they are different. In XBG you have the on roll person opposite to what you have for GnuBG. I have been copying and pasting the gnubgid out of this post all along. Its not the same.

However I just discovered in this post:

http://www.bgonline.org/forums/webbbs_config.pl?noframes;read=47359

That its the same as your XBG. Can you clarify which position we are looking at? Right now, I am not analyzing the same one you are. I am confused. Thanks
