Template: gnubg/build-bearoffs Type: boolean Default: true _Description: Build bearoff database? For maximum strength, GNU Backgammon needs a two-sided bearoff database, used to evaluate positions in the end-game. This database takes up 6.6MB of disk space and requires several minutes to generate on a reasonably fast computer. GNU Backgammon is fully playable without this database, but will use weaker heuristics for the end of the game.
