| 2020-03-19 |  | | en | Great to keep my skills up to date. It's fun. I won't play Backgammon too much though, because the real challenge is Chess. No dice, no luck. |
| 2019-02-19 |  | | en | The rolls are most definitely rigged especially when you get to the expert level. I've written random number generator programs that work way better than this one. I can not believe that a random generator would give you 4 (and this happened to me numerous times) of the same rolls in a row. . When I see the program starting to roll out too many identical rolls in a row I clear out my history and then, amazingly, that stops happening. Also, as aside, as an expert player I can not understand some of the bad moves the computer has made when they had the option of better ones. I just want fair play no matter which side wins. As an expert player I expect to lose sometimes but when I win I want it to be because of a fair game not because the computer gave me an amazing, and stupid, opening. |

| 2017-10-02 |  | | ru | Вроде ничего.. но странная программа. Уровень Expert должен предполагать, что компьютер играет умно и расчетливо (ведь шахматные же компьютеры так и играют) - а не просто выкидывает постоянно себе дубли и наиболее подходящие камни, а своему противнику наоборот выбрасывает наиболее плохие и неудачные камни. И в конце, в процессе выброса шашек из дома - себе может за шесть ходов дать пять дублей, а противнику ни одной шестерки за весь выброс. В общем, довольно необъективный геймплей, основанный не на тонкостях и тактике, а на забивании противника с помощью зар. Экспертом тут и не пахнет, просто компьютер тупо дает камни по принципу "себе получше - противнику похуже", причем в таких количествах, каких в жизни даже в теории не бывает. |
