[Bug-gnubg] Re: Tutorial 2.00 - Comments

software - Yet, it would be nice to try and stay away from proprietary

  The recently released GNU 0.14 is 1.18% stronger than GNU 0.13.

definitely stronger than Snowie. This is only 0ply. The 2ply difference 
is probably much much smaller, and that is what is being typically tested.

   GNU is made of 3 neural nets: ...

I would think this is sort of "implementation detail". It would probably
make very little to the casual reader. Perhaps it should be relocated?

   the crashed net, which is for backgame situations,

Might be misleading as well. Crashed is for situations were at least one 
side has no more than 6 "active" checkers, i.e. the rest are either 
buried or borne out.

  There are also programs using the GNU engine running on PalmOS and 
Windows CE.

I am not aware of any Palm versions? Are you talking about a Full GNUbg? 
Where is it? If you mean my bglight project, it is just PocektPC.
