In Response To: A better approch? (eXtreme Gammon)

As most bot users I only want to know when I need to stop my rollout. So please, find some way to make some settings which will give us without too much doubts. For example with in GnuBG, I know j.s.d. of 3.0 is paramount and I am satisfied with that. Also, when I don't need very strong settings I put lower value like 2.5 or even 2.33 Yes, it only gives me answer which play is best but it doesn't give me exact equity which Neil want. But average BG players are satisfied with knowledge which play is the best and from that data they build their BG models. Of course, it is fine to know exactly equity for all plays but there is also SD as a measure, so I am fan of GnuBG data where you can also set rollouts to be finished when SD=0.005 is reached for example. Min. trials parameter in rollouts is also usefull definitely. Nobody can trust in rollout with 100 trials (excent Phil Simborg :-) sorry I can't resist bcuz I read how he recommended and use very short trials in his rollout).
