For owned cube and unavailable cube the Janowski formula is
eq(cubeful) = (1-x) eq(cubeless) + x eq(fully live cube)
For centered cube the above formula is a reasonable approximation, so I
use it there as well.
I've got eq(cubeful) from the two-sided bearoff database, and
eq(cubeless) and eq(fully live) can also easily be calculated, so it's
trivial to calculate X.
I then feed X into the match play formula:
mwc(cubeful) = (1-x) mwc(cubeless) + x mwc(fully live cube).
