Oh, thanks!

in the example position from previous mail, the average number of rolls for
the player is 2.951 and for the opponent it's 2.675.

a = M * P * I = 0.0606 * 2.675 * 1 = 0.162

This sound to me like a very small value, though I have not calculated the
cubeful equities with this values. Is this model valid for this position?

(or maybe I misunderstand something again...?)
