Hello,
I'm aware that mine is a rather late comment...
Nevertheless: I do generally play single games to the maximum 8-cube stakes, and I use to tackle the problem pointed to by Christian Anthon thus:
After a group of games had been played, when I "batch analyse" this group, I always eliminate from the group (i.e. I manually delete from "savedgames") those games (very infrequent btw) in which the cube was indeed turned to 8 a n d in which the owner of the 8-cube could have reasonably redoubled, or in which either side could have reasonably changed one's checker-play in order to "save" or "win" a gammon.
Thereby I'm left only with those 8-cube-turned games in which the inaccuracies involved in the analysis are minor if they exist at all.
I would strongly recommend (as others probably did before me) to include in GNU some settings taking into account (a) the maximum possible stakes in each specific single game; (b) the influences on cube-evaluation of the discrepancies between the exact-2-product doubles and any less-then-2-product maximum stakes relative to the initial sum.
Thanks,
-- Adi

Constructing the right match equity table is quite easy, but we need
to make it right also for fractional stakes. A bit of coding changes
are needed to allow for jacoby in matches. I'm sure that I'll get
around to it some day.

Assuming these parameters and the cube is at 4 or 8, then I'm concerned that the cube decision analysis is wrong. My concern is that as the game is limited and the cube (say) at 8 (in the example given) then no player can win a double or treble game and more importantly the redouble option is also of no value.
