Re: [Bug-gnubg] Gnubg - Snowie error rate comparison

[jorma kala]

Sorry, one more question about the error rate:

is the EMG equity difference used in the computation of the error rate, is it  based on a cubeless evaluation?

thanks.

I thikn error rates are usually expressed in millipoints.
In your case: 10 0.1 errors over 100 unforced moves gives an error rate
of 10 * 0.1/100 = 0.01 points = 10 millipoints.
