RE: [Bug-gnubg] Feature request: Training tool "Randomize first N moves within 0.XXX equity."

[Michael Depreli]

Also for "Aggressive" if moves are within x equity chose the best one that hits a checker OR one that leaves a blot.

You could have "aggressive personality" !
Defined as maybe if moves are within x equity chose the best one that hits a checker.
Also for cube decisions if volatility >X then double earlier within X equity.

Lots of possibilities but I'd be happy just being able to randomize the openings and replies.
That alone would would lead to many different games for practicing.
