Question for Mr. Stick and Everyone Else

I don't trust any bot other than XG to perform rollouts of backgame positions. GNU has been shown to do the wackiest shit on the planet, breaking the 6pt for no reason, stacking checkers on a random point in the outfield, not being able to snake home a prime to save its life, etc... These rollouts are worthless whether it gets the particular play at hand right or not. It has been so long since I've performed a Snowie rollout I can't comment on how it plays them out. I wouldn't roll out a backgame position with Snowie because my life could very well end before it reached stat. sig.

As for a rollout with XG, I'll take a look for what it's worth assuming the rollout is at least 4 ply checker play and XGR+ cube. There are still rare things XGR+ cube doesn't understand that can arise in these positions but it's a hell of a lot better than anything we've ever had. From my own experience XGR+ has been playing the scant amount of positions I've seen decently.
