In Response To: Rollouts for Robertie's 501 Backgammon Problems (Timothy Chow)

hi. thanks for sharing rollout.

>but for whatever reason, Robertie apparently decided not to check his analyses
: using computer programs such as Jellyfish or Snowie.

Robertie wrote: The advice in the book is based on bot rollouts from the late 90s. (Mostly Jellyfish, if I recall, but it's possible I also did rollouts using Snowie 1.0, which came out in the summer of 1998.) http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/138/backgammon/501-essential-backgammon-problems-490267/
