Hi,

The board type in GNU Backgammon is typedef'ed as a 2d array
anBoard[2][25], but which player is on roll? Is the player with index 0 or
the player with index 1 ? I'm getting confused.

Player 1 is on roll, at least when it comes down to evaluating the position. See for instance the comment in EvalRaceBG() in eval.c.

Thanks, that was what I thought. However I got confused by a "bug" in my own code. I was so confused for a while that I thought (at least for a while) that this was changed in GNU Backgammon.
