Re: [Bug-gnubg] New build of GNU Backgammon for Windows available!

[nedc]

I installed the pruning net over your new windows archive 
and basic evaluations seem to work (and much faster!) but 
I got bad results from a rollout of a match cube bearoff 
position.  The evaluation was correct at 57% game winning 
chances, but in the rollout GNU was getting something like 
80% wins....very strange.

Also when setting the rollout to use 0-ply it always says 
"beginner" instead of expert, not that it really matters.
