  • Summary: IMPORTANT - READ THIS FIRST

    Please DO NOT buy this game unless you are willing to use both of the features we have included in the game to prove that it does not cheat, Manual Rolls and the ability to print out dice rolls before you start a game. Read about how to do this here:
    http://www.    njsoftware.com/note.html For legitimate users who are looking for a truly strong AI and are willing to take the effort to prove it, once you use the features we've included, you'll know that the game is honest. Don't let those who spread false information try to tell you otherwise. ABOUT BACKGAMMON NJ Backgammon NJ is a full-featured backgammon game which uses an advanced, neural network-based, artificial intelligence. Players of all skill levels can match wits against a computer opponent or play against another person in 2-player mode on a single device. Discriminating players will appreciate how well the AI plays. It uses a neural network trained on millions of positions, a bearoff database, and a match equity table to achieve strong gameplay that will challenge even expert players. REVIEW Sep 27, 2009 review by a Giant of Backgammon (one of the top 32 players in the world): "I am a Giant of Backgammon and know strong bg play when I see it. This app is the strongest iPhone bg app I've played with by far. It does not cheat period. As an evaluation I played 20 7-point matches on Hard totaling over 100 games. I won 11 matches and lost 9. I won the majority of games and points. So the app can be beat in the long run - if you play very well. Stop complaining about the dice and learn and improve and like magic, you'll start getting "lucky" too."
