Backgammon Online 2.0 for iPhone

Greatest user interface and game play/features. Nothing comes close in these categories. It doesnt have "hint mode" but you can import your entire matches to GNU

Re: Backgammon for mobile devices - iPhone, iPad, Android, Blackberry

Playing against Backgammon NJ on train (general lack of what I would regard as match concentration and often play drunk, but still try and give a somewhat reputable showing) vs expert has returned these:

ELO rating of 1727
8.3 ER
Points Won/Lost 113/186

Also played a great deal vs hard. which returned

ELO rating of 1727
8.5 ER
Points Won/Lost 358-343

Feely deeply priviledged to live in an era where a program on a sliver of phone not much bigger than a credit card can beat me up in such fine style

Only slight annoyance is that it does not seem to have a Jacoby rule (may be missing how to turn it on). Other than that great little bit of software.

Anybody know anything about Bglitz2Go?

It is free, and claims a very high level of play.

Re: Backgammon for mobile devices - iPhone, iPad, Android, Blackberry

Hello,

this is mobivention, the developer of Backgammon Gold.

About the KI in our app: only the paid version contains BGBlitz which is a quite strong KI as you might know.

The free version may come with 3 difficulty levels but these levels have nothing to do with BGBlitz (but BGBlitz is available via in-app purchase, called advanced AI).

Maybe you will give Backgammon Gold another chance. We're putting a lot of work in its development and we take your feedback seriously

Thanks!

Thanks for the info. Here is my short recap:
  1. BgBlitz2Go uses a stripped-down version of the BgBlitz neural net. 2-ply is its most advanced mode. See the BgBlitz2Go FAQ for details. No information is given about the speed or responsiveness of this most advanced mode when running on a cell phone or tablet.

  2. The BgBlitz2Go FAQ reports an anecdotal analysis of only about 35 games. In this very small sample, the error rate was less than 2.0, and the ELO rating was over 1970. If this proves to be a general result, it makes BgBlitz2Go a very strong cell phone app.

  3. Certain smart phones can run BgBlitz2Go directly. The list is found on the BgBlitz2Go web site. On these phones, BgBlitz2Go is free, and there is no need to purchase or install Backgammon Gold software from mobivention.

  4. For the iPhone and Android, you must purchase the paid version of Backgammon Gold Premium from mobivention in order to get BgBlitz2Go. It is not included in the free version of Backgammon Gold. Although other vendors may adopt the BgBlitz2Go AI in the future, at this writing, Backgammon Gold is the only product that currently has it for the iPhone or Android.

  5. Otherwise, you can download the free version of Backgammon Gold, and pay later to install a plug-in for BgBlitz2Go.
One question: I am the owner of a Barnes and Noble Nook Tablet. It wraps Android in a proprietary B&N user interface. Underneath the hood, it runs Android version 2.3.

Will BgBlitz2Go be ported anytime soon to the Nook Tablet?

Re: Backgammon for mobile devices - iPhone, iPad, Android, Blackberry

I'm using Backgammon HD on my ipad. Anyone know how to get ranked on this program?

Any better programs than this one?
