<Something about "good, but intuitive" players" and "better, but analytical" ones....>

@<a player>: ~~Using the math usually separats the "good, but intuitive" players from the "better, but analytical" ones.
It's more like "good intuitive players" and "better intuitive players who are analytical as well". You can't remove intuition from the picture. Attempts to program backgammon bots analytically have failed to produce anything near the strength of play of the intuitive bots (such as GnuBg and BGBlitz).**
**My new policy of mentioning BGBlitz instead of Snowie. Yay, let's hear it for BGBlitz! ;O)

The above was copied from the DailyGammon forum.Hey there Frank, you should see if you can get more people to do the same as me.
Might I suggest that you create an account at DailyGammon. Here are a couple of posts about the perception of BGBlitz out in Backgammon Land which may be interesting to ponder on.
