In Response To: XG2 (Dmitriy Obukhov)

At this time i am targetting May or June for the release. That means a Beta version will be avalaible probably by the end of March.

Pricing has not been yet finalized either for the full price or the upgrade price.

I thank all of you for the suggestions, unfortunatly nmot all of them will be implemented.

Here are the the answes for the one in this thread:

  • EPC in bear off positions I will probably implement that.
  • Cubefull statistical data will not be in the next version. Maybe in the far future.
  • separate and independent estimation of luck for each player I never seen the interest of that and do not plan to add it.
  • Cubeless wins and losses of single, gammon and backgammon are provided. Do their cubeful equivalents even exist, no these number do not exists, only equity make sense cubeful.
  • table stake cube limit already exists, however there is no easy interface for it when importing games (besides setting the game as cubeless). I will change that so you can easily set a cube limit. Full implmentation of table stake is more complexe (for instance on tmg, the stake are per session not game) and i am not sure it will get to the next version.
  • Is it possible to load a non-symmetric MET in XG2 No, and btw editing any existing MET will not work: the program needs to flip the MET as it go through the plies.

    New features of version 2 are:

      Engine, Game play
    • New improved and stronger engine.
    • Clock support (Fischer, Bronstein)
    • New opening book using RO for opening and response
    • Ability to use XGR(+) level within Rollout
      Export
    • improved position export (board orientation,always put player on roll at the bottom, position of the analyze, option to export all the top level move only)
    • new HTML export that use the same code than the position export.
    • New export mode using a true type font for pasting in Word or PDF and have a better printing quality.
      Major Features
    • Batch rollouts
    • Auto save
    • Ability to display 4 decimals for equities
    • Translation in other languages, French is done and the program supports unlimited languagues.
    • Related to the translation: unicode is now supported
    • Import of SGF files (position and matches, not the analyze at this point).
    • Warning on changing a setup position if there is already a RO or one is in progress.
    • Ability to generate a different RO seed each time the program starts.
    • Ability to add a specific move in the move list if it did not made the top 32
    • ability to open a dialog to see analyze at different score (by default $,d,s,g and any user defined score)
