GNU Backgammon (gnubg) is for playing and analysing backgammon positions,
-games and matches. It's based on a neural network. In the past twelve months
-it has made enormous progress. It currently plays at about the level of a
-championship flight tournament player. Depending on its parameters and its
-luck in recent games, it rates from around 1900 to 2000 on FIBS, the First
-Internet Backgammon Server -- at its strongest, it ranks in the top 5 of over
-6000 rated players there) and is gradually improving; it should be somewhat
-stronger than this when released. Since almost all of the CPU time required
-during supervised training is spent performing rollouts, and rollouts can
-easily be performed in parallel, it is hoped that users will be able to pool
-rollout results and collectively train it to a level stronger than any
-individual could obtain.
-
-You can also compete against recent versions of gnubg on FIBS; it plays
-there under the names gnu, mgnutest, mpgnu, mgnu_advanced, mgnu_expert,
-mgnu_WClass, ParlorBot and mgnu_zp.
-
-GNU Backgammon also playes on GamesGrid. A version of GNU Backgammon with no
-lookahead, 0-ply, plays with the nickname GGraccoon. GGraccoon is a very
-popular opponent among the members at GamesGrid. GGraccoon usually rates
-about 1900.
