  • The AI is a little sister of BGBlitz, the highly regarded AI that is used at Play65, GammonEmpire and Party Gammon. It is adapted to match the capabilities of current mobiles / cell phones.
  • Although a mobile phone is limited in the resources it provides, we could build a tutor into BGBlitz2Go.
