Not a BAD AI backgammon game

Well, it still cheats. Yes I have read the statistics, but I also got a set of physical dice and rolled the move for each player. With the manual tools, the win rate between the human and the AI is about 50/50. Without the manual rolls, AI wins all the time, having exactly the needed rolls at exactly the correct time.
The interface is fabulous, the piece movement is great.
You can’t blame the AI for wanting to win and having a way to make it occur!

Not Random

The rolls are not true. I play all the time with a board and other apps.

The computer cheats

I’ve put it to the test. It’s not random or coincidence.
