"I've played over 500 games now; I've checked about 5% of these against World Class Desktop programs (GNU, BGBlitz); and I've actually used some of the competition. NJ has the best interface & has more useful functions than any other backgammon apps out there."

NOTES

1) Stats for online matches against live opponents are not available during the match because stats can help one play better than his actual skill level. After the match ends: view stats, export match file, & analyze in GnuBG.

Stats for offline matches are available at all times because there are no live opponents.

2) If an online match ends for any reason, you'll receive the Elo points you deserve. FAQ: http://gamecenter.njsoftware.com
