If gammontool cheats, then I cheat better. I'm currently ahead by about 400
games. It's fairly easy to maneuver it into a situation where you can gammon
it at 64 games... Backgammon is a game of skill, not chance :-).

[[ I see. So after I have skillfully blotted one of his men, filled in my
inner table, and held him at bay while carefully bearing men off, I should
consider him the more skillful player when he wins by rolling two double
sixes in a row? That's either chance or cheating. Quite seriously, the
program probably doesn't cheat. I just have a selective memory. :-)
