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.

Tony Scolieri, 2020-03-19The 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.
