1-1 Problem

In Response To: 1-1 Problem (Leonardo Jerkovic)

I would not bother rolling out most backgames. Typically there are more tough choices than might occur in this particular position but even here I'm sure it took way longer and the variance is a lot higher so that if you really want a better answer you have to do a lot more trials. Another problem is some plays are missed (more frequently than your standard game of bg) unless you widen the move filter (also more time consuming).

For backgames I prefer using my phone a friend and asking specific people what they think, that serves better than a rollout I believe.
