I have a copy of the book. There are more than 60 tables in it, but if anyone knows which one(s) you’re looking for, I’m happy to send along photos. Best, David Levy From: Bug-gnubg <bug-gnubg-bounces+public=booksongaming.com@gnu.org> On Behalf Of Ian Shaw

Subject: Re: GNU Backgammon There was a table in the book. Tom Keith refers to it in one of his articles on bkgm.com. If I can resurrect an old hard drive, I'll have a look. It ought to be possible to generate fish tables from first principles, assuming a win rate and gammon rate per player. I think Jacobs used 24% gammon rate, which is higher than most.
Hmmm.... If my archive remembers correctly there never was a jac200 table. I don't have a copy of "Can a Fish Taste Twice as Good?", is it even a table in that book? I find no file called jac200.xml in the CVS attic either. So if there was a file called jac200,xml it must have been a local contribution that never was checked in. The guy who contributed this was named Craig Campbell. (Must be 20 years ago or so) Is it possible to get hold of him? I don't know, I'm asking the creator of the equity table, maybe he has it H Ezequiel, Now that you mention it, I think you’re right. I wonder why it’s been omitted from the installation. Does anyone here have a copy of the jac200 MET? -- Ian From: Ezequiel Galarce <egalarce@gmail.com>

Subject: Re: GNU Backgammon Hello, I have contacted the creator of "jac050" and "jac100" and he told me that he thinks he remembers that he had made a "jac200", I don't have any data. Hi Ezequiel, I don’t think the jac200 table is available on line. If you have the raw data, it’s easy to make a MET that gnubg can use. I could create one if you can find the data Regards, Ian From: Ezequiel Galarce <egalarce@gmail.com>
