I wrote a MCTS backgammon move recommendation engine&#x2F;AI for a class in college. It was a lot of fun.<p>It was easy to ramp up to many many cores.<p>I have no idea how to play the game well, never learned, but because the win&#x2F;lose rules are so clear and using this method, no need to build in game&#x2F;move theory. Still got great results compared to &quot;advanced&quot; players&#x27; games.
