Rollout started

In Response To: Rollout started (neilkaz)

I have my doubts about using a bot rollout here. For the sake of argument suppose that just making a 6 prime and running it home is correct here (which might be the case if there was a better homeboard and fewer off for the opponent). You want to rollout to see if the safe play or a super trapping play is better.

Suppose that gnu likes the super trapping play but the safe play is actually best. In the rollout gnu would probably just try a trap play next turn anyways. The overall strategy of just running it home never really gets rolled out.

In the actual example Neil's agressive play did not show up in the filter. If it is right to play this super agreessively will the bot correctly play it super agressively in the next few rolls?
