I thought last night before sleeping to get sense in the different game plans. We don't have to stop playing backgammon. Bots are not human. Elegancy is not a caterogy of bot thinking. Perhaps we can take it like Bill Robertie in "Modern Backgammon". We humans are thinking often in this or that, black and white. But the biggest new feature of the bots was: grey. Perhaps we have on the one side the pure slotting play, willingly going in a back game, and on the other side the "modern bot" play, shooting from the golden point. But what about the "middling" play, a play which don't get straight in one direction? These are for our eyes the hardest plays to find, because there we have at least a vision of what might be possible. And hitting on the ace and lifting the blot may be such a "middling" play. Another paradoxes and probabilities.
