Those of you who have read rec.games.backgammon in the past may be familiar with Murat the troll. Murat has nevertheless provided some interesting data in the form of a series of matches in which he won a significant majority of his matches against GNU.

I haven't looked at this data yet, but I think it could be quite interesting. Of course it could be that he cherry-picked which matches to post, but it could also be that he's identified some specific bot weaknesses.
