[Bug-gnubg] EPC (Trice) and other counts

[Adi Kadmon]

Hello all

 

I'd like very much to have the following information:

 

(1) What is GNUbg's formula for calculating "EPC"/"Trice count" of bearoff positions?

 

(2) Is that formula, or any approximation thereof, practically usable by a human player during a real game?

 

(3) Is the EPC/Trice count, if calculated precisely, actually more "correct" than, for instance, Ward count or Keith count, for cube decisions in bearoff positions?

 

 

Thanks,
