A new version of BG-Blitz is out! (http://www.netcologne.de/~nc-bergerfr)
new features:
- extract your matches from the Fibs-logfiles
- easy-installation and comfortable launcher-scripts
- slow and fast replay modes
- some more features in the position-database
- as usual some bugfixes ;-)
You don't know what BG-Blitz is? Read on.
BG-Blitz is a Software intended as the Swiss-Army Knife for Backgammon.
Current Blades are:
- Replay of Matches from Databases. Prebuilt is a Database with all
BigBrother matches and all Jellyfish vs. mloner games. This are about
2,300 matches and more than 9000 single games! Naturally you could
create databases of your own and import matches from FIBS, GamesGrid,
Jellyfish and PBEM, you can comment every move, and you can build
queries for certain games.
- Replay of Matches in FIBS, GamesGrid and PBEM format from text files.
- Analyze Cube strategy in match game. It answers when to double, match
winning probabilities and much more.
- Databases for single positions. You could create your own or use
prebuilt databases. Currently there is a database with all positions
from Dwek:"Backgammon for Profit" and complete rollouts from Jellyfish
3.01. There will other follow and I hope that many people contribute
with their own high-quality databases. I will make them available on
this site.
- full support for the Jellyfish-Matchfile format. You could replay your
games comfortably in BG-Blitz and annotate them. You could import your
own matches in a Database and can export every game from a database and
analyze it by Jellyfish.
- convert between FIBS-oldmove, PBEM, Jellyfish, GamesGrid and BG-Blitz
files
- additional position-database available. All positions from former
champion
Tim Holland's book: "Better Backgammon" rolled out 5184 times!
Curious?
Look at "http://www.netcologne.de/~nc-bergerfr". A Java-version of Bgblitz
is now there for your download. I think it's worth to have a look! And it
has an unbeatable price, just one email with name and city :-)
Have fun!
If anyone with Java - programming skills likes to spend endless hours on a
non-profitable
project, he/she may contact me. Backgammon players which like to setup
position for
position from a book, are also invited.
