Many thanks for supporting this feature request Michael. I think that encouraging / enabling auto-population of the internal database will in turn greatly enhance the usefulness of gnubg in terms of identifying my (or any other individual's) repetitive weaknesses.
i.e. identifying a habit of taking cubes which are clear drops; or of offering cubes slightly too early; or discovering if you repeatedly make a disproportionate amount of errors at the beginning / middle / or the end of your matches. e.g. From looking at my graphs every now and then, I suspect I make a disproportionate amount of errors in the first game of whatever length match for some reason. Nerves? Too creative? Overly aggressive / passive cube strategy in game #1? It would be good to have the exact reason confirmed and quantified by hard stats over hundreds or thousands of games. And even better to be able to dial in and accurately measure any improvements to specific areas of my gameplay over time. Please keep us posted of any progress.. I hope it's ok if I check back in 3 months or so. Feel free to let me know if you need any other info.

Is it possible to have an option check-box (or even a keyboard shortcut) to auto-analyse each match after completion? Also, is it possible to have an option check-box (or even a keyboard shortcut) to auto-add each match to the internal database after analysis? >From a HCI perspective, I feel that this would greatly increase the >value (and usage) of the database for statistical analysis and avoid the less-than-fun repetitive clicking after each match (of which one might play thousands). I would love to have a full database to run SQL queries on. Please let us know thoughts on if and when this might be possible. Many thanks.

No guarantee of if/when it will be done. Although at one point I recall seeing a version that analysed matches when it was over. I can't seem to figure when/where I saw that. -- Michael Petch GNU Backgammon Maintainer / Developer OpenPGP FingerPrint=D81C 6A0D 987E 7DA5 3219 6715 466A 2ACE 5CAE 3304 ------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Bug-gnubg mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-gnubg End of Bug-gnubg Digest, Vol 149, Issue 11 ****************************************** _______________________________________________ Bug-gnubg mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-gnubg
