A deliberate attempt to squeeze the opponent off of his anchor so that the trapper can close out any blots thereby exposed and win a gammon. a b c Tesauro, Gerald (March 1995).

A term used in the late 1920's and early 1930's for the new rules of the time, including the use of the doubling cube and chouette play. Tesauro proposed using rollout analysis to compare the performance of computer algorithms against human players. [54] In this method, a Monte-Carlo evaluation of positions is conducted (typically thousands of trials) where different random dice sequences are simulated. The rollout score of the human (or the computer) is the difference of the average game results by following the selected move versus following the best move, then averaged for the entire set of taken moves. Partner for the Box Chouettes with a large number of players often permit the box to take a partner. The partnership is offered in rotation, starting with the captain and moving on down the line. If no one offers to be the box's partner, a partner may be chosen by lot from among the team members other than the captain.In an elimination tournament, the group in which players start and compete in until they lose, and which offers the largest prize.

The main body of the game, which begins after the players have settled on their initial game plan. Compare: Opening Game and End Game.Because you must be "bananas" to try it. Attributed to Kent Goulding."] To hit loose by breaking a point in your home board, thereby leaving two blots. The number of plies played in each trial of a truncated rollout. A rollout that is truncated after 10 plies has a 10-ply horizon. Some people play that if the two players roll the same number on the first roll of the game, then the doubling cube is automatically turned to 2. The cube stays in the middle but now the first voluntary double of the game will be offered at 4. If the players roll the same number again, then the cube is turned up another notch, though players often agree to limit the number of automatic doubles to one per game. Q: What is match play? The Persian tables game of nard or nardšir emerged somewhere between the 3rd and 6th century AD, one text ( Kār-nāmag ī Ardaxšēr ī Pāpakān) linking it with Ardashir I (r. 224–41), founder of the Sasanian dynasty, whereas another ( Wičārišn ī čatrang ud nihišn ī nēw-ardaxšēr) attributes it to Bozorgmehr Bokhtagan, the vizier of Khosrow I (r. 531–79), who is credited with the invention of the game.
