In Response To: eXtreme Gammon Feeds My Ego (Bill Riles)

Bill Riles: I recall reading somewhere -- seems as though it was probably in "Backgammon Praxis" (wherein every position in three long matches was rolled out) -- that something on the order of 20% of all Snowie evaluations were overturned by rollouts.

Not quite.

Marty Storer, in Praxis: I ran all three matches through Snowie, which gave its “quick” evaluation of each match, move by move. I then sat down to analyze. ... When I encountered a particularly interesting or controversial position, I asked Snowie for arollout. ... I rolled out over 200 positions in these matches, of which about 40 were reversals of Snowie’s initial evaluation.
