Bot

Play a Bot Ordered simple to most advanced. Average/Intermediate/Expert are this project's own scored-and-searched heuristic bot, not a neural-net engine - honest about it either way. Pubeval is a real published academic benchmark from 1993. Grandmaster is the real thing: GNU Backgammon, a genuine open-source neural-net engine, running on the server. Need practice instead? Check out Bruce, our Master Teacher.
