The error rate measures only checker play errors and is calculated as
follows:
A checker play error occurs when a move is played which has lower equity
("match score adjusted equity", see another post) than the best move.
The difference is the value of the error. The sum of all checker play
errors (in a game or the whole match) id then divided through the number
of unforced moves (all rolls with at least two legal moves).

Number. The number of blunders is always smaller or the same as the
number of errors, since they are included.
> Luck rate: what does this mean? (And why should I care?)
Each roll is good for one player or the other. How good is measured in
equity units deviation from the average roll. These equity deviation are
summed up from the viewpoint of one player and then divided through the
total number of rolls in the game or match. You shouldn't care much
about this, the error rates are much more important :-)
> What do "DP" and "TG" and stand for?
DP: Wrong double around doubling point.
TG: Wrong double around too good point.
