This is to respond to your question on the weights. What follows is from
the e-mail announcement from Joseph Heled the developer of the neural
nets. The weights are effctively 1.18% stronger than the previous at
0-ply in 7-pt matches.

                                                        Albert

For 500000 7pt matches, the new net is 50.59% - 49.41% against the 
current one.

Subject: [Bug-gnubg] 

I am not sure if this is the proper place to ask a question about gnu so
please excuse me if is not the place. 
 
There is a new set of weighs for gnu (.14) .  How much better is .14
than .13?  ie how many more match does .14 win over .13 and how many
point per 100 games?
 
On another subject.  I will release in a few days the complete bearoff
data for all bearoff in the home board.  This data is an extension of my
work the cd-rom disc.  The set will contain 12 dvd disc.  The complete
bearoff is about 47 gig.  There are 4 equities for each bearoff - no
cube, roller cube center cube and opp cube.  I would like it if gnu
could access my data (Snowie has a feature for this with my previous
cd-rom disc).  I think the programming need in gnu would be quite simple
and I can provide VB  code  needed for the data look-ups and a few sets
of the dvd disc (of course at no charge). Also I should be able to
provide the GG code they used for the look-up. I think this would be a
good addition to GNU and 
 
 Thanks
