Windows: Backgammon-To-Lose From:   Gamer Cafe Software Address:   hacksaw@gamercafe.com Date:   9 March 1998 Subject:   Backgammon-To-Lose Forum:   rec.games.backgammon Google:   3503D4EC.523C4C09@gamercafe.com Gamer Cafe Software proudly announces the release of Backgammon-To-Lose (For Windows 95 and Windows NT) Inspired by a side-event at the upcoming 1998 Midwest Backgammon Championships... Prepare yourself for this interesting event by getting some experience. Gamer Cafe Software has taken its neural-net based MonteCarlo Backgammon Player and modified it to play Backgammon-To-Lose. MonteCarlo wasn't trained to play backgammon this way, so its play isn't very strong in the opening, but atleast you will be able to develop some strategies of your own after just a few games. Backgammon-To-Lose is completely FREE. So give it a try!
