Re: [Bug-gnubg] Analyse -> Market Window question?

[sebalotek]

Hi Ian,

Thanks for your reply and for your example. In fact my question was not so
much to do with the 'position' of the game, but with how to understand the
relevance of the 'Analyse -> Market Window' function. 

i.e. "it says my cube market window opens up at 50.286%... but I was around
55.7% to win the game at this point?" yet it says my cube decision was very
bad.

I would hope that the displayed data would be giving me relevant information
on my market window with reference to my *current* move, not for the future
last roll of the game?

I've attached another example from my practice game today -
If I'm reading the screenshot correctly my Take Point for the offered cube
should be above 30.079. 
My Current win percentage =  31.0%. 

So why is it classified as 'Bad' when I do Take at this stage? Is it me
being n00by again or is this a bug?

Finally, it think it would be really useful if when the analysis for the
cube decision is shown to also display basic information for the relevant TP
/ DP / CP there rather than having to go into the separate 'Analyse ->
Market Window' function as per my added text in red.

Thanks again for your feedback and help,

Wayne
