In Response To: Throw away your Snowie and GNU (Frank Berger)

Just to play devil's advocate - if after 1000 25 point matches you can't statistically tell ExtremeGammon apart from Snowie or GNU, then it would seem Phil's tout of faster and features would be worth something. I have to believe that $50 to run rollouts 5-10 times faster is a bargain to some people. However, I recall Jellyfish being pretty darn fast and quite strong, but as we have determined, demonstrably not as strong and so not as trustworthy. So really until someone goes out and does a study and comes back to say "here's the tests and it is close enough to be statistically indistinguishable from GNU", I don't see anyone giving up on GNU.
