In Response To: 41$-63, 21$-63, 51$-63 and 62$-63 (Chase)

By the way, have you given thought to somehow indicating whether a rollout has reached statistical significance (this would require a definition, of course) in your nacbracs? This is the one thing I find lacking, as not all rollouts should be weighted equally, and the raw number of trials isn't obviously indicative (at least to me).

Can you provide an example of where it will make a big difference, say on the order of 2:1 or 3:1? (Comparing two or more similar early game positions to each other.)

As I see it, the primary purpose of listing the number of trials is to give a very rough idea of the potential variance involved. (I leave out the number of trials altogether for bot averages or when the close plays in all positions covered have a very large number of trials or sometimes just for space/formatting reasons.)

I'm certainly open to the idea of providing additional information efficiently (a single character is often sufficient), though I'm a bit cautious about adding bells and whistles beyond the "basic" ones to the nacbracs (i.e., Nactation brackets), at least until I have an idea that people that wish to communicate and read/learn about early game concepts are more or less fluent with current nacbrac usage. (Feedback?)
