Chuck, thanks for this - your response tells me you have such a depth of knowledge, wow. I have to credit Al Steg, who I do not yet personally know, for a lot of rich and well-sourced history. I'll email you details.

I wrote this two years ago, and do not remember offhand where I found the 1953 reference. Gammanoid is classic editing error. The detail on Jellyfish is fascinating thanks, makes the event more interesting, and gives precedent to how the next-gen LLM tools that many are developing will be first unveiled. One guy I know who's building his, we have one too Here's a video explaining the one we have in development, where it was at in early March. https://discord.com/channels/1159408833999945798/1159414990885879818/1480228313866965072

I am currently working on these backgammon essays - 1. one about the Software graveyard of backgammon which is fascinating starting with the sheer volume. I found a few places on the internet where it's like the emperor's terracotta armies of people who commissioned developers for usually player vs bot. 2. The use of backgammon in science research as a tool or case. 3. A review of the published papers on backgammon and various aspects. 4. A milestone detailed history of the great software events in backgammon history.
