8.4.3.2 Luck analysis

This section provides information about how Ms. Fortuna distributed her luck. The following information is available:

1. Rolls marked xxx: The number of moves marked very lucky, lucky etc. Moves marked very lucky are huge jokers that improve your equity with more the +0.6 relative to the average equity. GNU Backgammon normally uses cubeful 0-ply evaluations to calculate the luck, but you can change that under the analysis settings. See below for a complete overview of what is considered very lucky, lucky, etc.
2. Luck rate (total): The total luck for this game or match reported both normalized and unnormalized.
3. Luck rate (per move): The luck rate per move reported both normalized and unnormalized.
4. Luck rating: Based on the luck rate per move GNU Backgammon will assign you a humorous luck rating. See below for the possible ratings.
