Michael, your understand exactly what I mean when I say, “Rollout Bank.”

Bots should be able to interogate it, and — if a user is authorized — have the abililty to upload new rollouts. The real key for success is to have the tool built into the bot. Fritz has a simple command called, “Let’s Check” built right into the chess program itself. We need something like that in our backgammon bots.

Alex’s system of off-loading rollouts from the client is also a great idea. I worry, however, that it may be impractical at present. My rollout of 62S-32-s for Nack Ballard took 11 days and 18 hours. Know anybody offering free compute time for XG rollouts? What Nack does, of course, is share the load among willing volunteers (like you).

Thanks for your interest working on this idea. I hope there is enough support to get something going.

Mike
