In Response To: BOT development and backgame evals (neilkaz)

No, eXtreme was not particularly trained on Backgame positions. I was very worried that doing so would negatively affect all the other parts of the game. I tried to keep my training sample to be representative of the positions found in average play. The positions Neil sent to me were very useful to verify that the training was going in the right direction, but were not included in the training set.
