Well, I guess the only way to find out is for someone to try!

Just to be clear, I'm not expecting AlphaZero Backgammon, even in the best case, to deviate much from GNU or XG in most positions. The real interest, for me, is whether it will master "crazy" positions such as backgames with 15 checkers back or containment positions with checkers scattered all around the board. If it does, then I think there is a good chance it will play less-crazy backgames (6 checkers back) in a noticeably different way, and ditto for those in-between positions where a backgame is a possibility but you can also try to win going forwards.

PR is overrated. I love Bob Wachtel's book on ace-point games even though it has no effect on my PR.
