I really struggled with the Axelisation below.
In a very standard position, I felt bad about being
so clueless. Maybe I should learn the Isight method
after all.
I basically took a wild 50/50 guess, and guessed right.

Maybe because zero adjustments are required?

If it helps you memorizing, you can work your way forward from behind:
Cross-overs (none), gaps on 6, 5, 4 (none), stacks on 3, 2, 1 (none),
checkers off (no difference).

So it's

p = 80 - l/3 + 2 * Delta l

= 80 - 37/3 + 2 * (43 - 37)

= 80 - 12.33 + 12

= 79.67 > 76

Double, pass

So I failed. (-:

The slightly more precise and slightly more complicated method sketched
on page 40 of my article yields:

p = 84 - 0.4*l + 2 * Delta l

= 84 - 0.4*37 + 2 * (43 - 37)

= 84 - 14.8 + 12

= 81.2 > 78

Double, pass

So I failed again.

But the good thing is that I worked in customer support for a long time
and thus I am quite used to only problems getting reported instead of
songs of praise and joy for my wonderful contribution to the backgammon
community. (-;

Happy holidays!

Axel

I think it is a wonderful contribution to the backgammon community.
It might be the best method that exists. I don't know why I (correctly)
took this one. I certainly had no confidence about it. I kind of had a vague
feeling that there was a lot of time for me to roll a miracle like 66/55/44
and that there was a lot of cubic vig so I could take at significantly below
25% GWC -- perhaps as low as 20% GWC.
I lost the game in the end so my lucky guess became unlucky in the end.
