playBunny: Czuch: "Is it against the rules here to have a program assess a situation to help determine the probability to get a gammon or if a double should be offered?"

For sure. You should only analyse a chequer play or cube decision, after you've made it. Same with discussing it here. "

No! About the first case: You should NOT analyse a chequer play or cube decision, after you've made it.

Why? Because you may have an exact position later against another opponent or the same one! So you would gain inappropriate knowledge that comes from a computer! Cheating!
Also you should wait all games here to finish before analysing with a computer anything! Why? Because you may have a position you analysed so you will gain that knowledge and play according to computer's analysis.....
So in short: We should never use computer for analysing anything until we stop playing here.....

In the second case: "Same with discussing it here."
Again another person may meet the exact position with what you had and shown with your analysis so he would take advantage of it. So no more analysis here until all games finish. In 15-20 years i guess.....
