Thx all!
One more benchmark database question, on format: I'm assuming:
* The rollout probabilities are in eg contact-train-data, not contact.bm (not
sure exactly what that is).
* The format is <ID> <prob of any win> <prob of any gammon win> <prob of any
gammon loss> <prob of bg win> <prob of bg loss>.
* Probabilities assume that the player is holding the dice, about to roll.
Is that correct?
