profiling the bots 
  When the world's strongest money players (probably the top bots if you ignore the possibility of reaching a bizarre position a bot doesn't understand and jacking up the cube) play against each other, it would be interesting to see a breakdown of the frequency of each type of result. For example: P1 % of the time, an initial double is dropped. P2% of... more »

Here are the results. Any explanations?? 
  After I gave up on any hopes in getting any money out of the evasive mother fucking faggots in this group, I decided to just give it away and let them make what they will out of it... I set out to play 100 matches of 25-points but after 60 matches, my win ratio was so ridiculous and things became so boringly predictable that I decided to experiment with shorter series of shorter matches, to give my inferior opponent a better chance...... more »

What is the highest human win rate against top bots? 
  Without being specific, I myself claimed over 50% and later backtracked trying to get bets based on bot calculated ratings. Others reported here 38%, 40%, etc... Is there any records of the highest win rates by humans against the top 2-3 bots, in a "humanly long" series of long matches (i.e. 50-100 matches of 15-25 points)...?... more »

Annoying new gnu "feature" still not fixed 
  ... The feature has existed for 3.5 years. What version is reported when you go to Help Menu/About GNUBG/Build Info. What does the first line say? An example is: Version GNU Backgammon 0.90-mingw 20120408 .
