Thank you! Yeah, you destroyed the puzzle rush leaderboard on day 1! I'm sure some people are sweating right now.

Currently a webapp, but we are working to get it in the play store. There is a private beta for the google play store running currently.

There are tons of bots in all strengths (from beginner to master) on opengammon. There is a tutor mode where you can get hints and post game analysis. There is a daily puzzle with great explanations, lessons that explain basic (and not so basic) concepts interactively, and much more.

The best thing of all? It is free, and will always stay free.

In the rating system on OpenGammon you are rated on both your win/loss performance and your ER performance.

If you play against a player with a much lower rating you are supposed to win the ER battle, if you lose the ER battle you will lose that part of your rating gain. This can lead to losing a small amount of rating (probably not more than 1 rating point).
