I never said it was a checkerplay problem.
The problem is: Guess my (Daniel's) equity.
For an easier problem, which side is doing better?

X has a huge advantage, I'm guessing 70%/80% GWC and 25%/35% gammons, equity ~ 0.9

equity after he makes the only legal play, 6/off 5/2?
It's a nice question. X has three checkers off already and has
decent gammon chances. O has just 21 rolls to hit, and the win
isn't guaranteed after a hit. I suspect that X is still the
equity favorite but I'm not sure.
