for training. Maybe I'll test it out.

I've been playing around a bit with neural networks for backgammon and found
something interesting, and want to see whether this is already part of gnubg.
Assume a Tesauro-style network with the usual inputs, and some number of hidden
nodes. And for simplicity, just one output representing the
Well, I am not sure how you flip the position, since it matters who is

approximation-formula for EPC values and their use in cube decisions in
bearoff positions. This time it's the original article, and in English - not

Hi Christian,
Thanks for the explanation.
So, just to clarify, the discrepancy of 0.133 from the theoretical 0 in
the result reflects discrepancies in the gnubg evaluation function.

My question is what is the tutorial mode actually showing.
Thanks :-)

Hi,
I have bought an a Apple Macbook Pro, running Mac OS X 10.6
Can you please let me know how I can install backgammon on this machine? (If
you could point me to a step-by-step guide I'd appreciate it as I am an Apple
novice).
Many thanks for any assistance.
