Ah! You are right again. I was reading an old version of the code, and incorrectly assumed that it had not changed over the years.
Which version is that? Where can I look at it?
But now that you have the tools - why do you not conduct the experiment?
Do what experiment? I didn't create the tools to conduct any experiments.
Can you please tell me - what would it take to convince you that GNU Backgammon does not cheat?
I can be convinced 99% easily but you guys won't be able to dispel the remaining 1% for which the possibilities are endless...
It's like listening to Flat Earthers (people that
Bot worshipping, dogmatic "believers" often try to belittle others who don't share their fallacious claims about many aspects of bots, by likening them to Flat Earthers, which is shallow minded, incoherent and offensive.

An insect brained god believer's trying to convince others that earth isn't flat is flat out comical :) What would it take for someone to convince him that god doesn't exist..?
So Murat, let me ask you again: what would it take to convince you that GNU Backgammon does not cheat?
I think it would be fair for me to repeat a question that I have been asking for a long time also, without any answers thus far, before I answer yours. What would it take to convince you, for example that the doubling cube magnifies luck more than skill in gamblegammon? Now to answer your question, if I say that I know how GnuBG cheats but I don't want to divulge before I can derive some benefit from it first, will you bet money on the bot against me, based on the claim that no human can beat it and my agreeing with that with my added proposition that if a human can beat it, then it must be for a reason different than his being better than the bot? Sorry for the long, convoluted sentence but I hope you get the idea. If you or anyone else is interested, I can try to rephrase it more clearly and expand on the 4 different types of money bets that I can offer, couple of them as prizes to me for my achievements and a coupe of them in which you can win a few tens of thousands of dollars also. Let me know... MK
