The off-line player uses a component from GnuBG, made VB compatible for use with FiBzilla by Mike Rudman(thanks Mike!!) GnuBG is an open source and free neural net backgammon engine that plays at a world class level. Backgammon neural net programs use cutting edge artificial intelligence technology to play the game of backgammon at a world class level that exceeds the best play of most humans. Computer players (bots) using this NN technique can also be found playing on FIBS where they hold the top rated positions which is a testament to their skill since they are not in any way affiliated with the FIBS server. The FiBzilla player can save games in JF.mat format and give simple hints for best play. For further analysis, download the main GnuBG program which is a full featured player and analyzer.
