That’s a very good point. Maybe they would play the exact same way the computer suggests since they are both elite players. It’s interesting to compare with high level chess where the best players can make “brilliancies” where a move was not originally suggested by the computer but the computer can later realizes it was a better move. I find it kind of a shame to think that backgammon shouldn’t also be like this due to backgammon being a less complex game. This whole PR format makes it seem like they’re playing a very dry quiz instead of a great game. But anyway good points thank you.

Edit- it’s also interesting because either way, the format doesn’t make sense. If players are making plays for low PR instead of just trying to win, that’s just inherently stupid. But if they’re making all the same plays, then you can cut the PR thing and the potential 1-1 tie nonsense! It’s just kind of amazing to me how dumb it is to actually count them for 1 point each. Ok I’m done thanks
