Moves are analysed by Open Sage, the open source backgammon engine, running in your browser at 2-ply on the production model. Open Sage is licensed under the Mozilla Public License 2.0; source at github.com/markbgsage/bgsage. Money game with the doubling cube. Error rate is equity lost per decision times 500, so lower is better and under 5 is expert level. Hands-free carries play on once Ally finishes speaking. On a computer, pick a "Natural voice" for the least robotic sound. On iPhone, download "Fiona (Enhanced)" under Settings, Accessibility, Spoken Content, Voices, English, for a Scottish voice.
