Re: [Bug-gnubg] Acey Ducey

[Thomas]

Well maybe someday. I wish I knew how to do it myself lol. I would love to 
see a Backgammon analyzer software with more variants like Acey Ducey, 
Hypergammon ect. By the way I really like GNU Backgammon. I put it right up 
there with Jellyfish. I don't really care too much for Snowie. I play GNUBG 
all the time. Really fine piece of software.
Thank You to all the programmers
Thomas
