Hi Nancy.
Yes, it works exceptionally well, I'm in general very impressed with the
program.
The demo restriction on the game is indeed that you can't bare off more than
four checkers. Usually though you don't start baring off until at the end of
a game so you can play the majority of the game anyway.
13 euroes is I believe around 19 dollars, but I'm not certain sinse
obviously I'm more used to converting both currencies into British pounds,
but if you pay with Paypal, paypal will do that for you anyway.
I'd recommend it, it's a good game.
Beware the grue!
Dark.l

Hi Dark,
I'm looking at the Pontes Backgammon site. So, if I donate 13 euros, I'll
be able to play a full game, but if I don't, I can't.
I'll have to do some conversion, because I'm not sure how much that is in
U.S. funds. But if the game is good, I'll gladly support it, especially
for
the opportunity for on-line play. Does it all work well?
Thanks,
Nancy

Hi tom.
Have you tried Pontes backgammon from
http://www.pontes.ro/backgammon/help/index.php I admit I was rather
impressed by the game and in fact it's got me into playing backgammon
which
i've not tried before (oddly enough, it's not as popular in England as
you'd
think).
the many features of the Pontes game however, and indeed the game itself
very much impressed me. apart from various good sounds and board over
view,
and a few fun options like choosing background ambience for the game,
playing the computer has been a good way for me to learn the game and
improve.
I can now always defeat the computer on Hard,and can win 50 percent of the
time against difficult. while I agree this is probab ly not as challenging
as it could be, sinse Pontes backgammon has the ability to play against
other people online, some of whome are very good there is always an option
to continue.
Pluss Manu is continually improving the game, he's just for instance added
mouse support and apparently is looking into adding graphics as well.
I'd deffinately recommend it, even if the computer isn't tough enough
there
is always online play.
Beware the grue!
Dark.

Hi Quentin,
Cool! Isn't Reversi the same thing as Backgammon?
If so I'd definitely want to check that out. I haven't played a good
game of Backgammon in years, and I haven't found any accessible games
on par with mainstream Backgammon games.
Cheers!
