Thanks Ralph
The sample size is over 100 games and GNU rolls higher start die about 80%.
So, I simply restart until I start first 50% of the time. However remains
damned annoying.
Overall, an enjoyable software package. It re-introduced me to backgammon
after a 20+ year absence.
Kind regards
Wayne .

Over how big a sample of starting rolls is that 80% measured?
Also, see
