Ah, okay! Thank you

It was set to g11, whatever that means. Mec25 yielded the same result, as did the different Jacobs METs. And again, it even told me that spot was a "No double, take" in money play, and METs shouldn't be taken into account there, right?

(A lot of this is new to me, I haven't gone past the "looking for huge mistakes I made" and the "let's see whether I really was as unlucky as it felt" stages of analysis yet)

toedder: g11 is a GnuBg-generated MET that has values created using rollouts for scores up to 11-away, 11-away. g11 is the default MET for that version. I think the latest GnuBg uses, the Rockwell-Kazaross MET.

Yes, METs are only for match play.

It's very curious that you have this error and I don't have it in versions either side of yours. That's assuming that I'm putting in the corretc position. Perhaps you could upload the match somewhere?

Alternatively, the problem may simply go away if you download and install the latest version.

playBunny: I was using the latest version from the Ubuntu repositories, so until your post I just assumed it was fairly recent. I just downloaded the latest snapshot and installed from source, and voilà! it changed and tells me that "Double, take" is indeed the correct action.

So it seems like some glitch that was introduced and fixed between your versions, or maybe some obscure error resulting from the package building process. It could always be a bug in one of the libraries used, etc.

Anyway, thank you all for your assistance, and for restoring my faith in GnuBG, and my certainty that it is smarter than I am ;)

I don't have the mat file on this computer atm, and do not remember what match it was, but the position ID was AwAAEAEAAAAAAA
