From XG help

5. Decisions A decision is a checker move or a cube double that is considered non-obvious by the computer. Considered obvious are the following:

A forced moved

A move for which the best choice and the worst choice have an equity difference of less than 0.001.

A double action where the equity before doubling and after doubling is the same (optional double)

A double action where the equity before doubling is 0.200 larger than the equity after the double (obvious non double)

A double action where the equity before doubling is 0.200 larger than the equity after a drop (obvious too good to double)

A double action where the equity before and after a double is very negative (less than -0.900). This corresponds to a loss of position when trailing in the match by a lot

Are never consider as a obvious:

A double decision resulting in a double

A take decision

---

For example. The following position is not nonobvious and does not count as a decision unless you choose to double.
