As of a few days ago when I onserved this and made notes,
Chow and Paul seem to be the last two pathetic souls left in
RGB discussing positions. :(
Pottle or not?
Chow asked Sep 21, 2021. Chow replied to himself Sep 25, 2021.
Hit?
Chow asked Sep 25, 2021. Chow replied to himself Sep 29, 2021
52 would have been better.
Chow asked Sep 29, 2021. Chow replied to himself Oct 5, 2021
What?? I meant a whiskey double of course!
Paul asked Sep 29, 2021. Paul replied to himself Sep 29, 2021.
Paul replied to himself Sep 30, 2021. Chow replied Oct 1, 2021.
Double 2's to play.
Chow asked Sep 26, 2021. Chow replied to himself Oct 1, 2021.
Hit or cover?
Chow asked Sep 22, 2021. badgolferman replied Sep 23, 2021.
Chow replied Sep 26, 2021. A menage a trois!?? :0
How to shuffle.
Chow asked Oct 5, 2021. Paul replied 3 times Oct 6, 2021.
Tim would take this because it's "huge" that we have the 5 point.
Paul asked Oct 6, 2021. Nobody replied.
I think that everyone attempting the quiz will give the same answer.
Paul asked and replied to himself 3 times Oct 6, 2021.
........ :(( I don't care about RGB but I truely wish them well.

every other day I look here, but I post usually only
to interesting stuff related to bots.
Count me among the pathetic souls still active at RGB.
I don't often post, esp. pre rollout for a variety of reasons

What's left for anyone to say after the rollout anyway?

And who are you again..? Not the sicko with a bg bot notI'm really glad about your appraisal, I would have been seriously concerned, if you would be positive about me or BGBlitz.
worth a shit, I hope...
Do you think you could tell what isThat will heavily depend on the item I guess. E.g. I regard Cornu aspersum as interesting but only few here will agree. Or books from Schulz von Thun about communication. One could learn really a lot about respectful positive communication. But again,
interesting if you saw it?
Do you think you could post any interesting stuff related to bots yourself? I'm not sure. Naturally I can't compete with your incredible competence on that theme, but at least the largest IT publication in Europe (c't) interviewed me back in 2007 about BG bots, so astonishingly some people seems to answer that question with yes.

For all others: Just look at this position: XGID=---a--A--BBB--ABa---BbAaAA:0:0:1:41:5:6:1:7:10
and compare BGBlitz answer with the usual suspects.

Re BgBlitz, I've always assumed (without any real evidence) that XG is the strongest bot. Do you think BGBlitz is stronger?I don't think BGBlitz is stronger (yet), but for most of us, this wont make much difference (being overrrun by a car with 100 or 102 km/h doesn't make much difference. You're dead anyway ) The next version I publish (just ask for a link, it's public
I think this would be extremely hard to test because you'd need such long sessions/matches to get statistically valid evidence.

However, arithmetic bears your hypothesis out. Snails travel
at a speed of approx 1 km/ day, which makes 365 km a year.

But you are asking the wrong question. If XG is better on average (albeit a little bias is introduced by XG measuring itself, but let's assume XG is PR 0.15) that means in no way that XG is always better.on that forum) with 1,2,3,4,5-ply
Look at the position I posted. XG has the hitting play b/24, 20-16* after 15 hours of rollout on position 6. BGBlitz got's it right (all humans discussing agree on that move. http://www.dailygammon.com/bg/forum2/main/read/56208 and several other posts
I only recently learned by some discussions on dailygammon that XG has difficulties in extremely deep backgames. There were close to 20 positions from one match discussed and BGBlitz doesn't always got the solution of the panel of discussing playersbut in about 75% of the cases and always a reasonable move. XG was quite often far off even after very long rollouts and we know how fast XG is. Therefore: for deep backgames and some extreme containment games there might be value to ask BGBlitz. Funnily

star and travel north in a straight line.
Or else, they could end up 365 km south, it north Africa... :)
Mother fucking irrelevant idiots!!!

My first guess was that snails are migrating through movement.
....
Snails are not birds. It isn't that the snails are travelling on an individual basis. Your intuition is correct, I think.
It's great that we have the benefit of your immense scientific
knowledge to point out these errors and provide interesting detail.
